Název: Response to “T. F. Torrance’s Hermeneutic of Humility”.
Autoři: Davidson, Ivor J.1 (AUTHOR) ivor.davidson@abdn.ac.uk
Zdroj: Modern Theology. Oct2025, p1. 4p.
Témata: *REVELATION, *HERMENEUTICS, *LITERARY interpretation, *THEOLOGIANS, *EPISTEMICS, *AWARENESS, *THEOLOGY
Abstrakt: The article focuses on the theological perspectives of T. F. Torrance regarding divine revelation and human understanding, emphasizing the interplay between God's epistemic transcendence and human interpretative activities. It discusses how Torrance views human knowledge of God as dependent on context and the limitations of human understanding due to fallenness, while also highlighting the necessity of humility in hermeneutical responsibilities. The author critiques Torrance's approach, suggesting that insights from critical philosophy, particularly those of Ricoeur, could enhance the understanding of the plurality of interpretations within a framework of universal theological affirmations. The article ultimately explores the implications of Torrance's theology for contemporary discussions on hermeneutics and the relationship between divine action and human responsibility.
