The volume presents Stanley E. Porter's considered thoughts and
reflections on key questions of meaning and context, addressing the
problems of biblical interpretation and how a close collaboration
between hermeneutics and linguistics can help to solve them. The
chapters display Porter's work in both fields, examining how
hermeneutics functions as a field in modern biblical studies, and how
the quest for meaning in biblical texts is underpinned by the study of
linguistics. The volume focuses on context for understanding the
meanings of biblical texts. Porter suggests that linguists can learn
more from the philosophical questions around meaning that hermeneutics
apply in their study of biblical texts, and that there is more
fruitful work to be done in the field of hermeneutics using insights
from linguistics.
