Clearly and concisely, Croatto summarizes differing methods and approaches to biblical interpretation and analyzes their strengths and weaknesses. He briefly describes the discipline of hermeneutics, encapsulated in three aspects of interpreteation: the primacy of text, the reader's preunderstanding of the text, and the enlargement of the text through its reading. Semiotics and linguistics are also discussed, as is the mode of origination of texts. Orbis Books, 94 pages. Paperback.
