Shaping the Scriptural Imagination: Truth, Meaning, and the Theological Interpretation of the Bible

Autor Donald H. Juel Editat de Shane Berg, Matthew L. Skinner
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2012
The late Donald H. Juel (1942-2003) devoted his life to engaging scripture faithfully, intelligently, and imaginatively. For Juel, theological interpretation of the Bible meant having an encounter with the living God. This volume identifies and connects many of the overarching themes that animated Juel's work. Including his thoughts on the rhetorical nature of scripture, the challenges facing academic instruction of the Bible, the reader's place in the biblical narrative, and the hope of resurrection, among others, the selections are accessible and engaging and paint a unique portrait of the way Juel thought and lived. Juel seeks to nourish readers in developing richer imaginations about who God is and how Christians meet God through reading the Bible.

Recenzii

"Few persons have taught us [how] to read Scripture as well as Donald Juel. His passion for the text is everywhere apparent as he teaches us to risk seeing the text differently. No one has brought that narrative to life better than this faithful servant. These essays and sermons are an enduring legacy of great value." --Patrick D. Miller, Charles T. Haley Professor of Old Testament Theology Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary
"An inspiring read for those whose passion, like Juel's, is for God and for the Bible as God's living, unsettling address." --Janet Soskice, Professor of Philosophical Theology and Fellow of Jesus College, University of Cambridge
"This collection shows Juel at his very best. Here you will find a humble and very much real Christian." --Alan F. Segal (1945-2011) was Professor of Religion and Ingeborg Rennert Professor of Jewish Studies, Barnard College
"Across the years of his much too short career, Juel demonstrated that reading scripture in Christian communities is an endlessly intriguing, bewildering, and nurturing journey. This book will refresh the minds of those who studied alongside him and invite a new generation of interpreters to pack their bags and travel along with him." --Beverly Roberts Gaventa, Helen H.P. Manson Professor of New Testament Literature and Exegesis, Princeton Theological Seminary
This book is a fitting tribute to a master scholar and teacher, but more importantly, it is a fitting reminder for all of us who read the Bible. What Juel encourages, and what clearly comes through in this collection, is the need for Christians to read Scripture together faithfully, intelligently, and imaginatively. -- Mark Vitalis Hoffman, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg -- Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology (68:2)
Juel's work went beyond the historical, linguistic, and literary scholarship that is foundational to the academic training that biblical scholars receive. -- Ernest van Eck, University of Pretoria -- Review of Biblical Literature
... filled with literary and hermeneutical jewels form the first chapter to the sermons.... Juel's advice to the Bible reader who does not know the biblical languages is priceless.... The spirituality of the author permeates almost every page. -- James Henry Harris -- Homiletic
