Teachers and preachers are engaged in this work all the time, but upon examination it involves a process that bears reflection. We live in a world that is so different from the world in which Jesus taught that many ask about its practicability relative to our complex everyday lives. The volume turns to three authors who work at this, have thought through present-day theory of interpretation, and respond to basic questions that explain the adjustments that allow us to apply Jesus' teaching to our dilemmas with interpretation that remain faithful to the content that he proposed. Sandra Schneiders turns to modern hermeneutics, the theory of interpretation, and explains what is going on in the human mind that allows us to say that present-day interpretation, while different from Jesus because our \"worlds\" are different, corresponds to what Jesus communicated in the past relative to his world. William Spohn pushes the same idea further to concrete examples of how analogy, sameness and difference together, both binds the imagination to Jesus and frees us to see new relevance for Jesus' actual teaching. And Lisa Sowle Cahill takes the spirit of the other two into the social order to show how Jesus' teaching has a real relevance for the highly complex societies in which we live today. The logics of these three authors offer models for what is going on in all of the Past Light on Present Life volumes as they represent different historical periods and distinct themes in Western Christian spirituality.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI – Introduction to the Authors and the Texts\u003c\/b\u003e   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eII – The Texts\u003c\/b\u003e   19\u003cbr\u003e Three Parables of Jesus   21\u003cbr\u003e Sandra Schneiders on Interpreting the Bible\u003cbr\u003e Selection from \u003ci\u003eThe Revelatory Text\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Problem and Project of New Testament Interpretation   25\u003cbr\u003e William Spohn on the Analogical Imagination\u003cbr\u003e Selection from \u003ci\u003eGo and Do\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLikewise\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Analogical Imagination   50\u003cbr\u003e Lisa Sowle Cahill on the Kingdom of God\u003cbr\u003e Selection from \u003ci\u003eGlobal Justice, Christology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eand Christian Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kingdom of God   85\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIII – The Appropriation of Scripture \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ein Christian Spirituality \u003c\/b\u003e  133\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/i\u003e   149\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Series\u003c\/i\u003e   151\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/i\u003e   157\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52681772335384,"sku":"9781531506049","price":8.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/retrieving-the-spiritual-teaching-of-jesus-sandra-schneiders-william-spohn-and-lisa-sowle-cahill-paperback-softback-9781531506049","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
