Focusing on linguistic signs, New Testament Semiotics navigates through different realist and nominalist traditions. From this perspective, Saussure's and Peirce's traditions exhibit similarities. Questioning Derrida's and Eco's semiotics based on their misuse of Peirce's innovations, Dr. Privatdozent Timo Eskola rehabilitates Benveniste and Ricoeur. A sign is about conditions and functions. Sign as a role is a manifestation of participation. Serving as a sign entails participation in a web of relations, participation in a network of meanings, and adoption of a set of rules. We should focus on sentences and networks, not primitive reference or binary oppositions. Enunciations are postulations producing evanescent meanings. Finally, the study suggests a linguistic approach to metatheology that is based on hermeneutics of discursive resistance.

Timo Eskola, Dr.theol. (1992), Dr.phil. (2011), Privatdozent (University of Helsinki). He is the author of Beyond Biblical Theology: Sacralized Culturalism in Heikki Räisänen's Hermeneutics (Brill, 2013), and A Narrative Theology of the New Testament (WUNT, 2015), among other works.
