The Journal of Theological Interpretation (first issue)

The first issue of JTI (published by Eisenbrauns) recently posted. While there are a number of journals out there, JTI is a welcome addition. It embraces a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates interactions between theology and biblical studies. One of the articles from the issue (the article by Murray Rae) is available as a free sample: https://www.eisenbrauns.com/assets/journals/JTI/JTI-Sample-Issue.pdf.

Why a New Theological Journal?
Critical biblical scholarship as developed and defined since the mid-eighteenth century has played a significant and welcome role in pressing us to take biblical texts seriously on their own terms and diverse contexts. With the postmodern turn, additional questions have surfaced—including the theological and ecclesial location of biblical interpretation, the significance of canon and creed for biblical hermeneutics, the historical reception of biblical texts, and other more pointedly theological interests. How might we engage interpretively with the Christian Scriptures so as to hear and attend to God's voice? The Journal of Theological Interpretation aims to serve these agendas.
