In Search of True Wisdom: Essays in Old Testament Interpretation in Honour of Ronald E. Clements
The
distinguished authors whose essays appear in this volume (marking the
seventieth birthday of Ronald Clements, who until his retirement, was
the Samuel Davidson Professor of Old Testament Studies, King's College
London) include John Barton, Walter Brueggemann, Brevard Childs, John
Rogerson, Rolf Rendtorff, Hugh Williamson, the late Norman Whybray,
Graeme Auld, Richard Coggins. The theme of the volume reflects
Clements's recent interest in 'wisdom' as an interpretative framework,
and the essays address the role of theology and hermeneutics in biblical
exegesis, through an examination of methods and approaches as well as
by application to specific Old Testament writings. While the volume
ranges through issues of canon, biblical theology and literary
criticism, with several essays on the prophetic books, it maintains a
clear focus on the numerous issues and challenges facing the
contemporary interpreter of the scriptures.
