The book explores the relationship between hermeneutics and linguistics, addressing biblical interpretation problems and suggesting that there is more fruitful work to be done in the field of hermeneutics using insights from linguistics.

Format: Hardback
Length: 200 pages
Publication date: 22 February 2024
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

The book delves into Stanley E. Porter's profound insights and contemplations on fundamental questions of meaning and context, addressing the challenges of biblical interpretation and exploring how a close collaboration between hermeneutics and linguistics can contribute to their resolution. The chapters showcase Porter's extensive contributions to both fields, examining how hermeneutics operates as a discipline within modern biblical studies and how the pursuit of meaning in biblical texts is rooted in the study of linguistics. The volume emphasizes the importance of context in understanding the meanings of biblical texts. Porter proposes that linguists can gain valuable insights from the philosophical inquiries surrounding meaning that hermeneutics employs in their examination of biblical texts, and that there remains abundant room for fruitful work in the field of hermeneutics by leveraging insights from linguistics.
