Description

This study examines contemporary Theological Interpretation of Scripture, focusing on the portrayal of the virtuous reader within an ecclesial context.

By comparing the approaches of Ephraim Radner and Richard B. Hays, it highlights the differing emphases on interpretive virtues: humble receptivity (Radner) and poetic attentiveness (Hays). The study then incorporates an explicitly contextual Latina theological perspective (supported by Latina Evangélica voices), emphasizing the importance of incorporating marginalized voices in theological interpretation to enrich the understanding of interpretive virtues and, by extension, the church as a whole.
