- Notes
- A review of volume three in "The New Church's Teaching Series". Reviewer is generally very positive about this volume which "focuses on hermeneutics, though with a clarity of style and directness of diction not usually associated with the term. Johnston presumes some acquaintance, on the part of his readers, with basic `navigation' of the Bible. But he also assumes that they will have a certain anxiety about the process of reading and interpreting the Bible themselves" (p. 315). The reviewer main concern is Johnston's decision to work with the two hermeneutical filters of liberation theology and the feminist hermeneutic which he does not feel most readers ("heterosexual, white, Anglo, suburban Episcopalians relatively untouched by the experience of social oppression" p. 317) will be able to respond to.

- Notes
- With this publication in 1993 "it is possible now to argue that Roman Catholic exegesis operates with the same criteria which have been in use for the last 100-150 years among non-fundamentalist Protestants, while textual criticism and philology arethe same ones which are generally accepted".
