Anglican Readings of Scripture Anglican Enactments of Scripture, (Hardcover)

<p><b>This volume gathers sixteen Anglican scholars and clergy who reflect on how their ecclesial identities shape the ways they read, teach, preach, and live Scripture.</b> Rather than proposing a single Anglican method, the essays illuminate a heterogeneous, evolving hermeneutical tradition rooted in worship, history, pastoral practice, and ethical concern. Contributions range from text criticism and translation, through historical and theological interpretation, to preaching, communal discernment, and autobiographical reflection. Together they demonstrate how Scripture functions in company with liturgy, doctrine, and lived experience, attending carefully to language, imagination, and local context. </p><p>Written at a time of contested Anglican identity, the collection challenges reified accounts of biblical interpretation and highlights the tradition's growing edges. By integrating rigorous scholarship with ecclesial practice, these essays model "performative" readings that are intellectually responsible, spiritually attentive, and communally engaged. This first volume in the Anglican <i>Readings of Scripture</i> series will appeal to scholars, students, clergy, and thoughtful lay readers seeking deeper insight into the vitality and diversity of Anglican engagement with the Bible today across churches, classrooms, and communities worldwide together.</p>
