   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Graves offers a short and readable overview of patristic exegetical practices, with particular attention to ancient views on the inspiration of scripture. Each chapter is devoted to a specific aspect of scripture, which then is further subdivided into related topics. The chapters include: (2) usefulness, (3) spiritual/supernatural dimension, (4) mode of expression, (5) historicity and factuality, and (6) agreement with truth. An introductory and concluding chapter frame these chapters. The concluding chapter offers a synthesizing summary and application of the previous chapters. This conclusion highlights both the similarities and differences among modern and ancient approaches to scripture. He highlights the subjectivity of interpretation; prioritizes the literal meaning; locates proper interpretation with the individual; and, heralds a "democratic" reading practices. Good undergraduate/early graduate level book. (  ) ctholmes | Jun 22, 2014 |  Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
What is true of Scripture as a result of being inspired? What should divine inspiration cause us to expect from it? The answers to these questions in the early church related not just to the nature of Scripture's truth claims but to the manner in which Scripture was to be interpreted. In this book Michael Graves delves into what Christians in the first five centuries believed about the inspiration of Scripture, identifying the ideas that early Christians considered to be logical implications of biblical inspiration. Many books presume to discuss how some current trend relates to the "traditional" view of biblical inspiration; this one actually describes in a detailed and nuanced way what the "traditional" view is and explores the differences between ancient and modern assumptions on the topic. Accessible and engaging, The Inspiration and Interpretation of Scripture presents a rich network of theological ideas about the Bible together with critical engagement with the biblical text.
