<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This first accessible, clearly written introduction to theological interpretation for students offers a survey of key themes, people, and challenges in this growing field.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Theological interpretation of Scripture is a growing trend in biblical interpretation, with an emphasis on the contexts of canon, creed, and church. This approach seeks to bridge the gap between biblical studies and theology, which grew wide with the ascendancy of critical approaches to Scripture. <i>Introducing Theological Interpretation of Scripture</i> is the first clear, systematic introduction to this movement for students. The book surveys the movement's history, themes, advocates, and positions and seeks to bring coherence to its various elements. Author Daniel Treier also explores what he sees as the greatest challenges the movement will have to address as it moves into the future. This helpful book is appropriate for pastors and lay readers interested in biblical interpretation.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"Daniel Treier is one of the brightest scholars working at the intersection of Scripture, hermeneutics, and theology in the evangelical academy today. Here he offers a masterful survey of the landscape and shows how evangelicals can join with Catholic scholars and others in moving the discussion forward."--<b>Timothy George</b>, Beeson Divinity School<br/><br/>"This is an introduction in the best sense of that term. With uncommon clarity and grace, Treier provides students of theological interpretation with a reliable and appropriately critical map of the terrain. Because Treier is both generous in his treatment of others' work and thoughtful in presenting his own views, students will find him an enlightening and wise guide."--<b>Stephen Fowl</b>, Loyola College in Maryland<br/><br/>"With an impressive mastery of the secondary literature of this new field, Treier shows how the disciplines of historical, systematic, and practical theology play into theological interpretation of Scripture. Treier suggests, like many in this new movement, that a recovery of ancient Christian practices and postures toward Holy Scripture opens the theological imagination and allows for fresh readings, informed by historical criticisms but not captured by them."--<b>Kathryn Greene-McCreight</b>, St. John's Episcopal Church, New Haven, CT<br/><br/>"Many voices today clamor for the recovery of theological interpretation, from many corners and for diverse reasons. For those concerned with the significance of the church for reading Scripture, and the significance of Scripture for the church, this is a renaissance most welcome. So many different voices, though, can leave us confused--not only on the finer points of the discussion, but even about its most basic question, What is theological interpretation? We need a map, and this is precisely what Daniel Treier has provided: a map that will be as useful to those already engaged in the conversation as it is crucial for those trying to gain their first bearings."--<b>Joel B. Green</b>, Fuller Theological Seminary<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Daniel J. Treier </b>(PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is Blanchard Professor of Theology at Wheaton College. He is the author of <i>Virtue and the Voice of God: Toward Theology as Wisdom</i> and the coeditor of several books, including <i>The Cambridge Companion to Evangelical Theology </i>and the award-winning <i>Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible</i>.
