Since World War II there has been a rapid growth of interest in hermeneutics. This resurgent interest in the interpretation of Scripture is prominent in the various branches of Protestantism and is evident among Roman Catholic scholars as well as Greek Orthodox. Christians everywhere are searching the Scriptures, desiring to clarify their own belief and to communicate the Word of God to one another and to non-Christians.
Simply stated, the task of interpreting the Bible is to discover the authors' meaning and to transmit that meaning to modern readers. The task itself, however, is not simple, as Professor Michelson clearly shows, for the meaning of the Bible is involved with a multiplicity of historical events, peoples, institutions, and languages, Dr. Mickelson shuns both the approach of proud rationalism, which would bring the Bible to account before the bar of human reason, and the approach of false pietism, which would subject the Bible to unstable feeling. Professor Mickelson points the way to biblically acceptable principles and procedures, and urges upon interpreters a greater awareness that interpretation must always take place in the love of God and in the Spirit of Christ, of whom the Scriptures are the supreme witness.
