Green\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch is written about the theory of theological interpretation, but how does it apply to actually working with biblical texts? This volume shows that theological interpretation is not so much an exegetical method as it is a practice concerned with Scripture's role in the faith and formation of persons and church communities. Widely recognized biblical scholar Joel Green demonstrates both the practice of theological interpretation and the fruitfulness of this approach to reading biblical texts, providing students with helpful ways of wrestling with knotty interpretive issues. He also explores how theological inquiry can coexist with rigorous academic study of the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor many years Joel Green has been a leading advocate for interpreting Scripture theologically. In this short volume all of his wide learning is on display as he deftly works his way through some of the contested issues surrounding theological interpretation of Scripture. This volume represents a wonderfully accessible window into theological interpretation by one of its most accomplished practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eStephen Fowl\u003c\/b\u003e, Loyola University Maryland \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Joel Green's \u003ci\u003ePracticing Theological Interpretation \u003c\/i\u003echarts a way through the thickets of interpretative theory and practice for those who are committed to the role of Scripture in the faith and formation of persons and ecclesial communities. Chapters devoted to the role of the reader, the Rule of Faith, and historical study model both critical theoretical reflection and practical implementation, offering concrete interpretations of various biblical texts. Stimulating, learned, and timely, Green's essays provide guidance for those who desire to harvest the fruit of biblical scholarship for nourishing the formation of Christian faith and practice.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eMarianne Meye Thompson\u003c\/b\u003e, Fuller Theological Seminary \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I warmly welcome Joel Green's book on the theological interpretation of Scripture. Contributions have already been made to this area, but this is the most mature, careful, and well read to date. Biblical studies is in process of exploring paradigms beyond historical-critical methods (plural). The most recent are reception history and theological interpretation. Green seeks to hear the voice of God through Scripture, which, after all, is the main task of exegesis. This book will also help to span the gulf between theologians and exegetes.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eAnthony C.

This serves as an introduction to many of the key points of critical evaluation in what is now called theological interpretation. He helpfully locates the theoretical discussion of narrative, the 'model reader, ' history, and Rule of Faith in relationship to the reading of New Testament texts. Informed, engaged, accessible.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eChristopher Seitz\u003c\/b\u003e, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoel B.
