"Does postmodernism threaten biblical theology, or is it the antidote to the conceits of modernism? Can historical criticism preserve Christological orthodoxy from the perils of "docetic" interpretation? Does postmodernism dissolve meaning in an ocean of pluralism that undermines biblical authority? How do texts "mean," anyway, and how can faithful Christians find their way through the bewildering landscape of postmodern interpretation?" "This book takes on all these questions and more, offering a comprehensive vision of an honest, responsible, and faithful interpretive practice."--BOOK JACKET.
