PAUL - A LINGUISTIC FILTER IN THE INTERTEXTUAL APPROACH TO THE SCRIPTURAL TEXT
PAUL - A LINGUISTIC FILTER IN THE INTERTEXTUAL APPROACH TO THE SCRIPTURAL TEXT

Summary/Abstract: Using Paul as a model for scriptural interpretation encourages a focus on the texts and practices of the church, rather than on apologetic strategies or spiritual self-examination. Postmodernism has many meanings and many names. Whatever it actually means depends on different cultures and different individuals. How much continuity remains from the past? How much discontinuity will characterize the future? How does this affect the interpretation of biblical texts from different cultures and different time periods? Can biblical scholars and religious leaders ever be clever enough to be aware of, and respond to, the lived existence of ordinary believers? There are hardly any definite answers to these.
