Anthony C. Thiselton and The Grammar of Hermeneutics: The Search for a Unified Theory (Paternoster Theological Monograph)

This book aims to show that the formative thinking of Anthony C. Thiselton provides valuable insights for a programmatic construction towards a unified hermeneutical theory. This construction provides powerful keys for unlocking six contemporary problems in hermeneutics: disorganization, complexity, abstraction, theoretical disunity on several levels, inter-disciplinary polarization, and irresponsible interpretation. However, despite the solutions that Thiselton's thinking provides in these contexts, and despite his world-ranking stature,no thorough engagement with Thiselton's work exists in the literature until now. Robert Knowles' exhaustive analysis engages critically and creatively.
