Hermeneutics: An Introduction to Interpretive Theory is an intelligible, and useful introductory volume by leading NT scholar Stanley Porter and Jason Robinson. This book provides overview of hermeneutical and interpretive thought without truncating complex issues. Neither an all-inclusive survey that moves too quickly over the surface of hermeneutical problem,s, nor a specialized volume on a single, narrow topic, Porter and Robinson's Hermeneutics provides critical analysis of major movements and figures in hermeneutics and interpretive theory in the modern era--from Schleiermacher and Heidegger to Thiselton and Culpepper--showing especially how these interpreters and their movements have impacted biblical and theological study.
