This book offers an entryway to the discussion between theological
interpretation of Scripture and contextual theology (i.e., tribal
theology). It argues for the need to consider the importance of
reading the Bible with multiple contexts in mind, while addressing the
tension between church and academy in the area of biblical
interpretation. Adapting from the theological method of Kevin J.
Vanhoozer, it argues for a multi-contextual biblical-theological
interpretation of Scripture that maintains evangelical ethos (i.e.,
the solas of the Reformation), recognizes canonical sense (i.e., the
measuring and guiding criteria), asserts Catholic sensibility (i.e.,
value the contribution of the local and Catholic church), and affirms
contextual sensitivity (i.e., the local/tribal confessing community).
These are the contexts that enable Christians to read the Bible as
what it is, namely, human and divine discourse.
