The author addresses three crucial questions: the relationship between reception history and historical-critical exegesis; the form of reception history itself, with a focus on the issue of which acts of reception are selected and valorized; and the role of tradition, pre-judgements and theology in relation to reception history. Disagreements about these matters contribute to what many characterise as the fragmentation of the discipline of biblical studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The study champions the hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer as a theoretical resource for understanding biblical interpretation, and a way of holding together with integrity the varied activities undertaken within the discipline. Each aspect of the argument is illustrated, tested and further explored with reference to the post-history of exhortations in the New Testament to 'be subject'. These have been widely cited and applied for 2,000 years - in literature, law and politics as well as in theological traditions. In this way the study makes a contribution not just to the theory but also the practice of reception history.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45085990158487,"sku":"9780567666741","price":4993.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780567666741.webp?v=1767142894","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reception-history-tradition-and-biblical-interpretation-gadamer-and-jauss-in-current-practice-9780567666741","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
