Interview with Darren Sarisky - December 15th 2013 "Building on its astute analysis of elements of patristicand modern biblical hermeneutics, Scriptural Interpretationmakes a persuasive theological proposal about how to be readers ofthe biblical text in the company of the church. Elegant,measured, rich in its details and penetrating in its judgements,this is one of the most distinguished accounts of the matter inrecent years."--John Webster, King'sCollege "Dr Sarisky is deeply immersed in the Bible, early Churchwritings and the Christian theology of recent decades, and hebrings them to bear in a masterful way on the key theme ofinterpreting scripture. He puts a bold, well-supported case for thecrucial importance of a thoroughly theological account ofscripture, its readers, their corporate context and the practice ofreading itself. His perceptive analyses and responses to Basil ofCaesarea, Stanley Hauerwas and Rowan Williams culminate in aconstructive contribution to what he rightly sees as one of themost important current debates in Christian theology. He doessomething that might seem obvious but is actually both unusual anddifficult: he lets God be utterly central and pervasive to both theBible and its reception." David F. Ford,University of Cambridge
