This volume is intended to introduce university and seminary students and scholars to the neglected field of ritual studies, particularly within the larger context of biblical and theological studies. At the same time, the author hopes to further the discussion by interacting with numerous scholars in the field, providing an extensive bibliography of relevant works. Klingbeil defines the basic terms used in ritual studies and explains the concepts involved in interpreting biblical ritual. He offers a broad history of the study of biblical ritual, beginning with the critiques of ritual found in the Old Testament prophetic books and surveying attitudes toward ritual down to modern times. Drawing on the fields of anthropology and sociology, as well as his decade of work in the field, Klingbeil presents a comprehensive reading strategy for biblical ritual texts. In addition, he explores connections between ritual studies and theological research. This ground-breaking study promises to generate discussion about biblical ritual and provides an excellent introduction to this growing field of study for students and scholars.
Is there a gap between the academic study of the Bible and the work of theologians? What lies behind this gap? And most important, how have biblical scholars tried to bridge the gap with hermeneutical methods? This book addresses the exegesis vs. theology impasse and categorizes the most important attempts to bridge it over the past century, especially those of the last decades. These attempts are assessed and evaluated so that readers can see the philosophies undergirding each and the potential each has for a true "theological interpretation" of the Bible.

La tradición teológica cristiana ha adoptado la filosofía griega, la filosofía y la ciencia modernas a tal punto que el pensamiento cristiano está condicionado por esos saberes. En esta obra se muestra cómo ha ocurrido esto desde el siglo II d. C. hasta la teología posmoderna. Lo que la teología cristiana ha tomado de la filosofía y la ciencia no son solo algunos conceptos o algunas ideas, sino nada menos que la interpretación de las presuposiciones más básicas que la mente humana debe hacer de algún modo para poder funcionar. Esa interpretación contamina toda la teología cristiana. Para hacer este juicio, se explicita la interpretación bíblica de esas presuposiciones, obten...
Reading Religious Ritual with Ricoeur: Between Fragility and Hope creates a dialogue between Ricœur’s hermeneutic philosophy and the interpretation of human ritual practices, especially as such practices are manifested within the context of Christian liturgy. In the first part of the book, Christina M. Gschwandtner shows that Ricœur’s account of religion would be deepened if it were to take into account not only the biblical texts but also forms of liturgical expression and ritual actions. She challenges Ricœur’s early reading of the symbol and second naïveté, broadens his interpretation of biblical texts and faith to consider religious actions more fully, and suggests that ritual...
Todo conocimiento se funda en presuposiciones básicas. Estas no son verdades absolutas, sino interpretaciones. Dichas interpretaciones no pueden ser demostradas, sino que se eligen. La teología moderna y posmoderna es una construcción que se ha basado en una serie de presuposiciones que no se han interpretado desde la Biblia, sino desde la filosofía y la ciencia moderna. Otra fuente de estas interpretaciones es la tradición teológica. Aunque la totalidad de la comunidad teológica elija seguir las mismas interpretaciones de las presuposiciones, sigue siendo una elección y, por tanto, criticable y revisable. El objetivo de la presente obra es analizar el discurso teológico moderno y p...
