Abstract
Theology interprets divine revelation. For Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, religious identity and daily living depend on divine revelation as collected in a sacred text—the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran, respectively. ‘Hermeneutics and theology’ looks at what divine inspiration entails in these religions and the importance of tradition in understanding. It also discusses how the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century was a defining event in the history of hermeneutics; the rise of modern historical criticism; and the theological interpretations of Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Finally, the recent hermeneutic trends of narrative theology, a reworking of historical criticism, and canonical criticism are considered.
