Questions surrounding the relationship of Scripture and doctrine are legion within the Protestant tradition. This study is an apologetic for the ongoing, constructive theological task in Protestant and Evangelical traditions. It suggests that doctrinal development can be explained as a hermeneutical phenomenon and that insights from hermeneutical philosophy and the philosophy of language can aid theologians in constructing explanatory theses for particular theological problems associated with the facts of doctrinal development, namely, questions related to textual authority, reality depiction, and theological identity. Joining the recent call to theological interpretation of Scripture, Putman provides a constructive model that forwards a descriptive and normative pattern for reading Scripture and theological tradition together.
Rhyne R. Putman is assistant professor of theology and culture at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in New Orleans, Louisiana. This volume is based on a dissertation completed at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary under the direction of Robert B. Stewart.
