Tonight I did some initial reading in Thinking Biblically by André LaCocque and Paul Ricoeur. In this volume LaCocque, an exegete and Ricoeur, a heurmenutic philosopher, write essays on the same biblical passages. The point of the work is not to illustrate how the two approaches differ, but rather how they work in tandem. It illustrates, how the exegete can think philosophically and the hermeneutic philosopher can think exegetically.
I'd love to write more, but its time for bed!
