The Spirit Says

Inspiration and Interpretation in Israelite, Jewish, and Early Christian Texts
  • By Ronald Herms, John Levison, Archie T. Wright
$193.79
Product Description

The Spirit Says offers a stunning collection of articles by an influential assemblage of scholars, all of whom lend considerable insight to the relationship between inspiration and interpretation. They address this otherwise intractable question with deft and occasionally daring readings of a variety of texts from the ancient world, including--but not limited to--the scriptures of early Judaism and Christianity.

The thrust of this book can be summed up not so much in one question as in four:

o What is the role of revelation in the interpretation of Scripture?

o What might it look like for an author to be inspired?

o What motivates a claim to the inspired interpretation of Scripture?

o Who is inspired to interpret Scripture?

More often than not, these questions are submerged in this volume under the tame rubrics of exegesis and hermeneutics, but they rise in swells and surges too to the surface, not just occasionally but often. Combining an assortment of prominent voices, this book does not merely offer signposts along the way. It charts a pioneering path toward a model of interpretation that is at once intellectually robust and unmistakably inspired.
