Contents:

Terminology and context for hermeneutics -- A communication model of hermeneutics -- Authors, texts, readers: historical movements and reactions -- Some affirmations about meaning from a communication model -- Developing textual meaning: implications, effects, and other ways of going "beyond" -- An invitation to active engagement: the reader and the Bible -- Genre and communication -- The language of the Bible -- The social world of the Bible -- Literary context, intertextuality, and canon -- Conceptualizing contextualization -- Contextualization: understanding Scripture incarnationally.

Subject: Is the Bible just a book of ancient Israelite and Christian history and practices to be read? Or are we engaging in a more interactive practice when we study God's word? Jeannine K. Brown believes that communication is at the heart of what we do when we open the Bible, that we are actively engaging God in a conversation that can be life changing. By learning about how Scripture communicates, modern readers can extract much more meaning out of the text than they could if simply reading the Bible as though it was a list of rules or a collection of stories. In Scripture as Communication, Brown offers professors, students, church leaders, and laity a basic guide to the theory and practice of biblical interpretation, helping them understand our engagement with Scriptures as primarily a communicative act. - Publisher.
