Hermeneutics at the Crossroads

<p>In this multi-faceted volume Christian and other religiously committed theorists find themselves at an uneasy point in history--between premodernity modernity and postmodernity--where disciplines and methods cultural and linguistic traditions and religious commitments tangle and cross. Here leading theorists explore the state of the art of the contemporary hermeneutical terrain. As they address the work of Gadamer Ricoeur and Derrida the essays collected in this wide-ranging work engage key themes in philosophical hermeneutics hermeneutics and religion hermeneutics and the other arts hermeneutics and literature and hermeneutics and ethics. Readers will find lively exchanges and reflections that meet the intellectual and philosophical challenges posed by hermeneutics at the crossroads.<br /><br />Contributors are Bruce Ellis Benson Christina Bieber Lake John D.
