Contents:
Mormon hermeneutics -- Two foundational presuppositions -- Literality and the LDS church -- Interpretation by allegorization -- A sociological approach -- Emendatory practices -- Re-authoring: Locutionary reassignment -- LDS interpretive practice in light of philosophical hermeneutics.
Subject: Bible readers are often preoccupied with themselves. At times they neglect the original, ancient context of the biblical writings. The novelty of the modern is leveraged to trump the ancient. Mormon hermeneutics seems to say more about the modern LDS church than any ancient biblical meaning. Positively, the LDS is to be applauded for their emphasis on the living out of their faith. However, through various approaches to the Bible, the LDS Church seems to neglect the ancient horizon of the biblical text. Any interpretation of the Bible, LDS or otherwise, should be held accountable. This book is an attempt to categorize Mormon hermeneutics and utilizes numerous hermeneutical voices from the field of philosophical hermeneutics. https://www.amazon.com/Mormon-Hermeneutics-Approaches-Bible-Church/dp/1666716138/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1B076UF2PH9BC&keywords=9781666716139&qid=1681325260&sprefix=9%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-1
