“Hermeneutics is not just the art and science of how to interpret, but is also reflection on how we already interpret. This is tacitly acknowledged on page 65 n.22 where there is a suggestion made to meditate on passages in the Psalms and Isaiah before interpreting. But they quickly go on to affirm the importance of “the literary and linguistic aspects of the biblical material” (66). This point is well taken, but it is in the employment of these aspects within a theological matrix that is often the problem.”
