Editor's Notes

Editor's Notes ATR/99.4 This issue of the Anglican Theological Review is devoted to a relatively recent scholarly movement called the theological interpre- tation of scripture. During the past forty years an increasing number of scholars have become dissatisfied with many of the approaches to biblical interpretation common in the academy. Out of this foment a number of new interpretive movements began to establish them- selves within the scholarly guild. Theological interpretation is one of these. Both Walter Moberly’s essay and my own offer accounts of the concerns and tensions that provided the impetus for this movement. Theological interpretation is not the dominant form of scholarly biblical interpretation, but it is now well established within the guild. There is a journal devoted to theological interpretation; several series seek to provide theological commentaries on books of the Bible; a number of groups within the Society of Biblical Literature are de- voted to promoting theological interpretation. It is even the case that a disproportionately large number of scholars who work in this area are Episcopalians. Nevertheless, few parish clergy seem to be aware of this movement. Hence, I am especially pleased that this issue of the ATR is devoted to theological interpretation of scripture. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Anglican Theological Review SAGE

Abstract

ATR/99.4 This issue of the Anglican Theological Review is devoted to a relatively recent scholarly movement called the theological interpre- tation of scripture. During the past forty years an increasing number of scholars have become dissatisfied with many of the approaches to biblical interpretation common in the academy. Out of this foment a number of new interpretive movements began to establish them- selves within the scholarly guild. Theological interpretation is one of these. Both Walter Moberly’s essay and my own offer accounts of the concerns and tensions that provided the impetus for this movement. Theological interpretation is not the dominant form of scholarly biblical interpretation, but it is now well established within the guild. There is a journal devoted to theological interpretation; several series seek to provide theological commentaries on books of the Bible; a number of groups within the Society of Biblical Literature are de- voted to promoting theological interpretation. It is even the case that a disproportionately large number of scholars who work in this area are Episcopalians. Nevertheless, few parish clergy seem to be aware of this movement. Hence, I am especially pleased that this issue of the ATR is devoted to theological interpretation of scripture.
