Hermeneutics and the Authority of Scripture

Alan H Cadwallader is Senior Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Australian Catholic University in Canberra and author of Beyond the Word of a Woman, ATF Press, 2008. The question of hermeneutics now dominates all disciplines of human knowledge and its construction. It has moved from a concentration on how to apply the results of research knowledge to considerations of the frameworks by which we conduct research as a meaningful exercise. The study of the Bible is not exempt from these developments.
