But as Jesus points out, it matters how you read Holy Scripture, and this is where the art of hermeneutics, the study of interpretation, makes its entrance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cem\u003e Hermeneutics in Romans, \u003c\/em\u003e Dr. Timo Laato returns to the old Lutheran maxim that Scripture interprets Scripture. Usually this maxim meant that portions of Scripture that were clear should be used to shed light on portions of Scripture that are unclear. Dr. Laato takes it even one step further. He turns to Romans to study the hermeneutical principles that Paul used to interpret the Old Testament in that epistle. This results in a dynamic view of the Bible, rescuing hermeneutics from the dead atheistic presumptions that have governed academic hermeneutical research since Kant. Not only does Dr. Laato's approach make immanent sense on the face of it, it breathes life into the study of Scripture and delivers eternal life to the reader in Jesus Christ, who proves to be the ultimate hermeneutical key. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 164\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 08, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47411885277362,"sku":"9781948969321","price":18.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/a5ca6416dbe0303496dc70a3cd5211f2.webp?v=1778309531","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/hermeneutics-in-romans-pauls-approach-to-reading-the-bible-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
