Ironically, the Bible has become a stumbling block, to the Jew and the Greek and just about everyone else. It's used as a cudgel when it should be a text of healing and reconciliation. So now, more than ever, we need the hermeneutical vision of Paul Ricoeur, for he reminded us that the eschatological horizon of scripture implicates us, embraces us, and, most importantly, helps us to understand ourselves. In the capable hands of Edelheit and Moore and their collaborators, readers of this book will be rewarded with a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the text that Ricoeur loved above all others.
