Culture and Biblical Hermeneutics

Interpreting and Applying the Authoritative Word in a Relativistic Age.

No issue now occupies contemporary evangelicals more than the role
of culture in biblical interpretation. In Culture and Biblical
Hermeneutics the author not only analyzes the current debate but also makes
a significant contribution to it.
This volume grapples with what the
author calls 'the challenge that historical and cultural relativism poses to
the hermeneutical process when applied to the authoritative Scripture.' He
accomplishes his goal admirably by exploring both the origin and the current
state of biblical hermeneutics and by developing a biblical theology of
hermeneutics and culture.
'An avalanche of proposals for interpreting
and applying Scripture has resulted as many Westerners have been breaking out
of their monocultural cocoon. Larkin does a masterful job of aiding us in
understanding and evaluating these proposals and in forwarding the use of those
that are biblical and worthy.' - David J. Hesselgrave
