Participatory Biblical Exegesis: A Theology of Biblical Interpretation.

We do not read the bible like we used to read it and this, according to Matthew Levering, is not necessarily a good thing. Something has been lost in the way we do exegesis and Levering argues that our exegetical practice has suffered under the strain of a faulty and unbiblical understanding of reality. Levering offers a helpful approach to exegesis without becoming bogged down in overly-complicated hermeneutical theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
