5.0 out of 5 stars
a must reading for theological education,
This review is from: Pedagogy of the Bible: An Analysis and Proposal (Paperback)
Dale Martin writes passionately about theological education and the use of the Bible in classroom. This book is a welcome addition to my bookshelf and to my own research as well. Martin proposes that teaching of the Bible come back to premodern interpretation in which readers take the central stage. The Bible (texts) doesn't mean something clear to everybody. But it is the reader who decides the final meaning of the text. This does not mean that any meaning goes. Even historians choose a certain meaning in their interpretation. So if somebody says "the Bible says ..." it shouldn't be understood that the Bible says the only one thing. Therefore, all readings are subject to investigation and criticism. Actually, it is an irony that this important part of "reader" has not been given much attention. My hope is that all levels of readers faithfully and critically engage the Bible in their diversity of life contexts. In this way I believe that lively meaning of the text might be ever-coming back for us today. In fact, I share with Martin the same passion for theological education: Christ's Body in Corinth: The Politics of a Metaphor (Paul in Critical Contexts).
