Omschrijving
The two-volume Oxford Encyclopedia of Biblical Interpretation (OEBI) will fill a crucial need in the field of biblical studies by providing detailed, comprehensive treatments of the latest approaches to and methods for interpretation of the Bible written by expert practitioners.
This is an extremely ambitious project that has the potential to foster broader and more sophisticated study in the field. Highly recommended.
