This book introduces theological hermeneutics by giving a historical account of the development of hermeneutical thinking. It defines hermeneutics as the analysis of the obstacles to understanding. The history of hermeneutical thinking and responses to obstacles is told here, beginning with the allegorical interpretation of myths in Hellenism through to the contemporary view of the hermeneutical problem as universal. Following the opening chapters on the history of hermeneutical thought, the book presents an overview of the various contemporary hermeneutical schools of thought, and shows their rooted-ness in different parts of the hermeneutical tradition. The focus is clearly on biblical interpretation however it does also take account of developments outside the field of theology, as they influence the theological reflection on the hermeneutical problem. The questions raised and the possible answers suggested in this volume will be of interest to students of other disciplines, such as philosophy and literature.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book is the sequel to "A Theology of Liberation", which without Gutierrez's theology cannot be completely understood, and which has profound contemporary implications, and develops a spirituality of liberation in solidarity with the poor. The book outlines a spirituality born out of Latin America that, while rooted in the particularity of its own context, yet has great significance beyond it. It indicates that acknowledging our spiritual poverty can be the start of opening up to God; and that individual spirituality is only authentic when it is following Jesus, which leads inevitably to community and the one-ness of the world family.
