Description:
In The Hermeneutical Spirit II, Amos Yong continues his work in theological interpretation by turning attention to migration, diaspora, and culture within the New Testament. This sequel builds upon his earlier work, The Hermeneutical Spirit, by offering fresh readings of Luke-Acts, the Catholic Epistles, and the Revelation--each explored through the lens of an after-Pentecost hermeneutic. Joined by New Testament scholar Rodolfo Galvan Estrada III, whose contributions frame the volume with insights on biblical hermeneutics and migration, this collection invites readers--scholars, pastors, and students alike--to rethink how Scripture speaks to a world shaped by displacement and diversity. Imaginative and rooted in lived experience, The Hermeneutical Spirit II models a theological reading of Scripture that is attuned to the Spirit's work across borders, cultures, and times.
