David Tracy Bücher

Exploring the evolution of biblical interpretation, this work examines how early Christians, including Jesus and Paul, approached the Old Testament during pivotal historical moments. It highlights significant developments in interpretation across various eras, including early Christianity, the schools of Alexandria and Antioch, the medieval period, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the Nineteenth Century. Additionally, David Tracy's contribution connects historical interpretations to contemporary Roman Catholic perspectives, bridging past and present theological thought.

In Plurality and Ambiguity , David Tracy lays the philosophical groundwork for a practical application of hermeneutics, while constructing an innovative model of theological interpretation developed out of the notions of conversation and argument. He concludes with an appraisal of the religious significance of hope in an age of radically different voices and constantly shifting meanings.
