Interpreting power

rethinking the relationship between mythos and logos as prolegomena to an intercultural theological hermeneutics

Marion Grau

pp. 129-149

The practice of interpretation, which hermeneutics discusses, is a form of religious, social, and cultural power: interpretive frames determine our perceptions, how we read the past into the present, and eventually how we act, personally and communally. As our world is becoming increasingly intercultural and complex, it is imperative that we develop smart discursive alternatives to smart bombs, military measures, and economic terror.
