| Résumé : |
Interprétation of Scripture occurs within one’s worldview and culture, which enhances our understanding and ability to apply Scripture in the world. However, few books address Bible interprétation from an African perspective and no other textbook uses the intercultural approach found here. This book brings both an awareness of how one’s African context gives a lens to hermeneutics, and also how to interpret texts with integrity despite our cultural influences.
African Hermeneutics was born of Prof Elizabeth Mburu's frustration at only havingtextbooks that predominantly followed a Western worldview to teach her African students. Mburu’s approach to hermeneutics is onethat begins in Africa, movingfrom the knowntothe unknown as students learn to apply her ’four-legged stool model' to biblical texts, namely examining: the parallels to African contexts, the theological context, the literary context, and the historical and cultural context. This textbook will help students and pastors interpret Scripture with greater accuracy in their own context, allowingforfaithful application in their local contexts. |
