Summary
Through Scripture, readers encounter the Word of God: this is the central principle of theological interpretation. Such interpretation is teleologically ordered toward knowledge and love of God – however partial that knowledge and love might be on this side of the veil – and reaching out toward knowledge and love of neighbor. Thus understood, theological interpretation is a task not restricted historically or geographically; it is as old as the church and as global as Christians’ reading of the Bible, when their reading is oriented toward participation in the divine life.
