Incarnational Hermeneutic: Reading the Text Through the Eyes of Jesus

Hermeneutics is the art of interpretation. Traditional fields such as law and social sciences, along with theology, rely on hermeneutics to make sense of, or interpret the meaning of source material. Biblical hermeneutics, likewise, focus on principles for interpreting Scripture.

When it comes to Biblical interpretation, we believe the question isn’t, “What does the text say?” The question is, “Through whose eyes do we read the text?”

Jesus’ response to the many questions he is asked throughout Scripture is a daring act of interpretation. In fact, Jesus is revealed throughout the Gospels not as just another interpreter of sacred texts, but as the very Presence of God who is, for us, a living hermeneutic.

This workshop based on the resource Through Whose Eyes Do we Read? Jesus’ Flesh as our Hermeneutic, and is part of a suite of resources dedicated to operationalizing a vision of what we call a “Community in Mission” (CiM) that is modeled after the life of Jesus. Together we will explore the living hermeneutical presence of Jesus that helps leaders of a CiM teach and preach Good News based on a God in whom there is no violence and who is in rivalry with no one, not even death. 

Who should attend: This event is open to everyone. For those who applied to be part of the Preaching Peace Facilitators Table, this a helpful onramp to the hermeneutic that will be used for the Preaching Peace Initiative. This workshop will also be especially useful to those who are Ordained with SP.
