Book 3

The Use of the Bible Ethically and Politically - A Dialogue with Oliver O'Donovan

The third in a series of books that result from annual conferences of the top evangelical hermeneutical scholars in the world.

A Royal Priesthood? is the third volume from the Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar. This annual gathering of Christian scholars from various disciplines was established in 1998 and aims to reassess the discipline of biblical studies from the foundations up and forge creative new ways for reopening the Bible in our cultures.

Any attempt to open the Book in new and fresh ways for our cultures at the start of the third millennium must explore how to read the Bible ethically and politically. This volume looks at the obstacles to such a process and in dialogue with Oliver O'Donovan's creative work in this regard, looks in detail at how to read different parts of the Bible for ethics and politics. A unique element of the book is Oliver O'Donovan's 14 responses to individual chapters.

An important feature of this volume is its engagement with the current thinking on biblical theology in Catholic circles.Topics addressed include: - The current state of biblical theology- Approaches to biblical theology- Major themes of the Bible and biblical theology- Parts of the Bible and biblical theology- Biblical theology and theological interpretation- Preaching and biblical theology

Book 6

In this sixth volume, the Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar brings its past six years of work on biblical hermeneutics to bear on the gospel according to Luke. In his introduction, Anthony Thiselton, world authority on biblical hermeneutics, sets the context for a wide-ranging exploration of how to read Luke for God's voice today. Traditional and more contemporary approaches are brought into dialogue with each other as top Lukan scholars reflect on how best to read Luke as Scripture. Topics covered include the purpose of Luke-Acts, biblical theology, narrative, reception history, the parables, a missional reading, and theological interpretation. Since prayer is a major theme in Luke, this volume explores not only the role of prayer in Luke, but also the relationship between prayer and exegesis.
