Personal voice criticism takes seriously into account and makes explicit the role of the interpreter's personal voice within the process of deciding on the meaning of a text. "The Personal Voice in Biblical Interpretation" makes evident the multiplicity and legitimacy of different interpretations and breaks new ground in the ongoing debate of the hermeneutics and methods in biblical scholarship. |
