| Summary: | This article gives a Short introduction to the field of theo-logical hermeneutics, and shows that a common feature of many new contributions to this field is that the biblical Scriptures and the Christian Church are closely connected. Against this background, the article introduces the work of American theologian John Howard Yoder, presents his understanding of the Christian church as a socially embodied tradition, outlines some central aspects of his understanding of the life of the Church with the biblical Scriptures, and lastly discusses an important consequence of his hermeneutic position. |
