Description
Summary:Drawing on ideas by Gerald Graff on the presence of an 'unofficial interpretive culture' in literary theory, by Robert Fowler on the fact that 'we never read the text itself, but only the history of the reading of the text', by Bernard Lategan on the necessity to do 'empirical reader research', and by Francis Schussler Florenza on the need to incorporate 'the de facto reception of Scriptures within the Christian communities' in the interpretive praxis of Biblical scholarship, the article argues for the deliberate consideration, articulation and discussion of such presuppositions.
