Exploring the Foundations of Scripture: Hermeneutics and Interpretation Across Traditions
This work delves into hermeneutics and the nuanced landscapes of verbal inspiration, inerrancy, and canon formation in both Eastern and Western traditions. It contrasts the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament with key texts from Chinese classics, such as The Analects, and explores the shared themes found in the Vedas, Guru Granth Sahib, and the Qur’an. Addressing the fourfold method of scriptural interpretation and Liberation theology, this analysis provides insights into written and oral traditions, emphasizing how diverse interpretations shape spiritual understanding.
