Theology After Ricoeur

Publisher Description

This text unpacks Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutical philosophy for a post-modern theology by providing a comprehensive interpretation of Ricoeur and then applying Ricoeur's hermeneutical theory to biblical interpretation and theology. The text explains Ricoeur's contributions to contemporary theological debate and shows how Ricoeur's textual theory provides a real alternative to Lindbeck's post-liberal theology (on the one hand) and deconstructionism (on the other).
