    a classic study on biblical interpretive procedures
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2000*

The need for this study arose due to the popularity of a movement known as "biblical theology" which relied heavily on certain interpretive procedures which constantly mishandled or distorted the linguistic  evidence.  Although the author is not interested in critisizing biblical  theology itself, he is interested in critisizing certain methods used in  the handling of linguistic evidence used in theological discussion.  This  book is a critique on those interpretive methods.In biblical  interpretation there exists not only the problem of translation, but also  the problem of transculturation, which means we must consider the gaps  between not only a Semitic language, an Indo-European language (Greek), and  our own modern language, but also the gaps between the Ancient Near East,  the Roman Empire, and our own modern culture.  The author observes that it  is doubtful that any other sphere of life other than the theological has so  many people without special training who continually attempt a semantic  transference across such gaps.While the author assumes that the reader  will have a basic understanding of Hebrew and Greek, he actually writes  more to "the middle of the road" in order to reach as wide an  audience as possible, and is neither overly technical nor too simplistic.  As such, even those who have no training in the biblical languages will be  able to benefit from reading it.  For instance, the chapter on contrast of  Hebrew and Greek thought, which is quite informative, uses no foreign  terms.This book, which was first published in 1961, has withstood the  test of time, and the interpretive knowledge contained within its pages is  just as pertinent today as when it was first written.  This is a classic  study and should be required reading for serious students of the Bible.
