Von der hinteren Coverseite

"A more attentive, critical, and reverent way of engaging the sacred texts and traditions of Christianity"

This book argues for the importance of both theological interpretation of Scripture and contextual readings, offering explanation and critique of a variety of interpretive methods and casting a vision for a way forward in biblical interpretation.

"How should Christians from diverse cultural backgrounds read the Bible well in today's world? Lim maps the way ahead clearly, thoughtfully, and searchingly. An important book."
--Walter Moberly, Durham University (emeritus)

"An informed challenge for the usual practice of theological interpretation of Scripture to embrace the important contributions of global voices. There is much food for thought here!"
--M. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas), Wheaton College

"A sweeping and insightful assessment of the current landscape of biblical studies. Lim ultimately advocates for an integrative model of biblical interpretation while remaining attentive to its inherent limitations. A much-welcomed resource."
--Chloe T. Sun, Fuller Theological Seminary

"Lim shows us what contextual theological interpretation looks like, where both words--context and theology--do work helping Christians faithfully interpret Scripture. Smart, wise, remarkably learned, and much needed."
--Jonathan Tran, Duke Divinity School

"Although scholars are not Lim's intended audience, any serious biblical studies student intrigued by the intersection of context, theology, and culture as essentials in the interpretive process will find this timely resource invaluable."
--Emerson B. Powery, Messiah University

"This book represents a real advance for theological interpreters of Scripture who want to serve the church."
--Stephen Fowl, Church Divinity School of the Pacific

"This is a book my students have been longing for, and I will definitely use it in my courses."
--Janette H. Ok, Fuller Theological Seminary

--Daniel Castelo, Duke Divinity School
