Listening to the word of God

Biblical exegesis includes a wide range of critical disciplines. In this book, an international group of ten Old and New Testament scholars from four different continents – all of confessional Lutheran background – analyzes and interprets a variety of texts, applying different methodologies and approaches. The literary genres covered include psalms, prophetic writings, parables, and epistles. The multifaceted result of the essays is surpassed by a mutual understanding: exegesis means »Listening to the Word of God«.
