Description: "Compiling the results from contemporary and exciting areas of research into one single important volume, this book provides a comprehensive one-stop handbook reference of biblical interpretation." "Examining a wide range of articles on many of the recognized interpreters including Augustine, Luther and Calvin, up to the modern figures of Martin Hengel and T.W. Manson, Professor Porter gathers contributors who combine the study of biblical interpretation with the examination of the theological and philosophical preconceptions that have influenced it, and survey the history of interpretation from different perspectives." "With relevant bibliographies and a guide to further reading, the Dictionary will be an important reference held for many years, not only by libraries, but also by students, scholars, clergy and teachers of this subject."--Jacket.
