Much is written about the theory of theological interpretation, but how does it apply to actually working with biblical texts? This volume shows that theological interpretation is not so much an exegetical method as it is a practice concerned with Scripture's role in the faith and formation of persons and church communities. Widely recognized biblical scholar Joel Green demonstrates both the practice of theological interpretation and the fruitfulness of this approach to reading biblical texts, providing students with helpful ways of wrestling with knotty interpretive issues. He also explores how theological inquiry can co-exist with rigorous academic study of the Bible.

Product description

From the Back Cover

"For many years Joel Green has been a leading advocate for interpreting Scripture theologically. In this short volume all of his wide learning is on display as he deftly works his way through some of the contested issues surrounding theological interpretation of Scripture. This volume represents a wonderfully accessible window into theological interpretation by one of its most accomplished practitioners."
--Stephen Fowl, Loyola University Maryland

"Joel Green's Practicing Theological Interpretation charts a way through the thickets of interpretative theory and practice for those who are committed to the role of Scripture in the faith and formation of persons and ecclesial communities. Chapters devoted to the role of the reader, the Rule of Faith, and historical study model both critical theoretical reflection and practical implementation, offering concrete interpretations of various biblical texts. Stimulating, learned, and timely, Green's essays provide guidance for those who desire to harvest the fruit of biblical scholarship for nourishing the formation of Christian faith and practice."
--Marianne Meye Thompson, Fuller Theological Seminary

"I warmly welcome Joel Green's book on the theological interpretation of Scripture. Contributions have already been made to this area, but this is the most mature, careful, and well read to date. Biblical studies is in process of exploring paradigms beyond historical-critical methods (plural). The most recent are reception history and theological interpretation. Green seeks to hear the voice of God through Scripture, which, after all, is the main task of exegesis. This book will also help to span the gulf between theologians and exegetes."
--Anthony C. Thiselton, University of Nottingham

"In a compact and carefully argued presentation, a prominent New Testament scholar shares his convictions about proper apprehension of the New Testament's word of address. This serves as an introduction to many of the key points of critical evaluation in what is now called theological interpretation. He helpfully locates the theoretical discussion of narrative, the 'model reader, ' history, and Rule of Faith in relationship to the reading of New Testament texts. Informed, engaged, accessible."
--Christopher Seitz, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto

4.0 out of 5 stars Call back to a faithful reading of scripture
Reviewed in the United States on 21 February 2015
Verified Purchase
Offering a defense of theological reading, Green explains how and why it is dangerous to read scripture exclusively through lens of historical criticism. He not only presents the argument in simple language, but then offers his own theological explication of a few scripture passages to illustrate in actuality the strengths of doing so alongside the weaknesses of the alternative. A good, easy read for anyone involved in biblical studies, especially as it pertains to the church. While the final chapters may help drive home the point by linking theological explication to John Wesley, they felt a little out of place.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent intro to Theological Interpretation of Scripture
Reviewed in the United States on 23 October 2013
Verified Purchase
This book provides a basic "how to" for engaging in the theological interpretation of Scripture. Essentially, it requires understanding Ecclesiology (p. 16-17), understanding Christology (p. 29), understanding the grand narrative of Scripture (p. 21, 30), and then reading Scripture in light of these three areas (p. 41-42).

Yes, this involves reading the Old Testament texts in light of the church and Jesus Christ.
