Hermeneutics of Ultimacy : Peril or Promise?

This book proposes that the Bible's central claim to answer our ultimate life and death questions is the clue for a method of interpretation which fits with the nature of the text as a canonic whole. A faithful hermeneutic of Scripture will be pastoral in intention, approaching Scripture on the level of certitude. The book is unusual in that it attempts to forge a synthesis between an evangelical concern for biblical authority with modern critical concerns to do justice to the phenomena of Scripture.Olthius, James H. is the author of 'Hermeneutics of Ultimacy : Peril or Promise?', published 1987 under ISBN 9780819158000 and ISBN 0819158003.
