Spirit Hermeneutics

Biblical-theological reflection supporting a dynamic, experiential,
Spirit-guided reading of Scripture
How do we hear the Spirit's voice in Scripture? Once we have done
responsible exegesis, how may we expect the Spirit to apply the text to our
lives and communities? In Spirit Hermeneutics biblical scholar Craig Keener
addresses these questions, carefully articulating how the experience of the
Spirit that empowered the church on the day of Pentecost can - and should
- dynamically shape our reading of Scripture today.
Keener considers what Spirit-guided interpretation means, explores
implications of an epistemology of word and Spirit for biblical hermeneutics,
and shows how Scripture itself models an experiential appropriation of its
message, a way of reading with faith. Bridging the Word-Spirit gap between
academic and experiential Christian approaches, Keener's Spirit
Hermeneutics narrates a way of reading the Bible that is faithful both to the
Spirit-inspired biblical text and to the experience of the Spirit among
believers.
