• Living Hermeneutics In Motion: An Analysis and Evaluation of Paul Ricouer’s Contribution To Biblical Hermeneutics
• Paul Ricoeur was one of the most important and prolific philosophers of recent times. There has been a massive amount of studies done on Ricoeur's philosophy, but very little on his theological trajectory and its connection to Biblical hermeneutics. Dr Laughery's investigation into Ricoeur's work in the fields of philosophical - theological hermeneutics, literary analysis, narrative and the Bible proves itself to be a necessary complement to Ricoeur's dynamic contribution to philosophy. This unique and much needed study brings to light the diversity of ways in which Ricoeur's hermeneutic revolutions concerning a meaningful text can be useful, specifically in the area of Biblical interpretation. Situated within the modern - postmodern interpretative debate, the dissertation is interested in ascertaining if Ricoeur's richly sedimented and hermeneutically complex orientation can offer an alternative to modernist "sharp boundaries" and postmodern "radical indeterminacy." One of the highlights of this exploration is the author's helpful discussion of J. D. Crossan and Paul Ricoeur on Biblical parables. For anyone who is interested in thinking deeply about how to read the Bible and understanding how our own ways of reading it fit into a much wider philosophical context, Living Hermeneutics in Motion is a must read.
