(1) His proposal seeks to move beyond the classic model of simple direct prediction while at the same time rejecting a skeptical hermeneutic that is blind to possible messianic references on the part of OT seers.(2) Lesslie Newbigin underscores this need passionately: u2018the only hermeneutic of the gospel is a congregation of men and women who believe it and live by it.u2019(3) Because they were very inconsistent, they adopted a new hermeneutic .(4) What the novel effects in regard to the Gothic, to parody, and to Catherine's readerly education is a hermeneutic of neither sameness nor difference, but one of u2018not unlike.u2019(5) But rather than modify those claims, he devotes a great deal of hermeneutic ingenuity to disguising their shortcomings, at times actively reconfiguring his sources to suit the case he defends.(6) Instead of finding an Aristotelean u2018middle,u2019 Hooker's hermeneutic stands in opposition to both the Puritan movement and the assumptions that eventually led to Western secularism.(7) I once called these points hermeneutic windows - partly to counter the idea of music as purely self-sufficient and self-reflective, a windowless monad - and the term seems to have had some currency.(8) Johnson is committed to a hermeneutic in which Scripture, while read critically, is given free rein to address God's people with the force that it properly bears as God's word.(9) For Pynchon, the hieroglyph hints at, but ultimately frustrates, hermeneutic operations, leaving the interpreter faced with a social text whose key either has been irretrievably lost or never existed in the first place.(10) Understanding as involving a fusion of horizons requires the application of what is to be understood to the interpreter's hermeneutic situation.(11) Can we continue to argue for a collectivist hermeneutic when eliciting biblical theology?(12) A close link between phenomenology and hermeneutics has resulted in the interchangeable use of the terms; however, philosophical beliefs differ among phenomenologists and hermeneutic philosophers.(13) History is not ontologically given but is linguistically and textually constructed, and it is therefore subject to the same textual and hermeneutic uncertainties as fiction.(14) But what motivates these shifts, if not a particular hermeneutic , a particular point of view or collection of views that presents itself within the overall tradition about Manasseh and/or creation?(15) Completing this hermeneutic circle, these articles, having taken their conception of the Irish American immigrant from dialect columns and books, contribute to a further castigation of the Irish American as stereotype.(16) Moreover, the social experiences of African Americans have provided the matrix for both the theological conception and the biblical hermeneutic .
