Description: "Interpreting the Truth" critiques the current narrowing of biblical interpretation to a fragmented conversation between like-minded specialists by focusing attention on the social practice of interpretation. According to Countryman, interpretation as social practice requires a creative and dynamic interaction among three essential elements: the interpreter, the text, and the community for whom the text is being interpreted. These elements are complex yet essential in order to reflect the complexity of human cultures past and present. He challenges the biblical scholar to confront one complexity with another, modern with ancient and vice versa, and to encourage conversation between them.
