Ian W. Scott explores the way of knowing which is assumed by Paul's argumentation in his letters. Paul presumes that a kind of hermeneutical reason plays a central role in religious knowing. His theological knowledge is structured as a story, and ethical reasoning involves "emplotting" human beings within that story. Paul's narrative reasoning is responsive to the world, even though it is not justified in a foundationalist fashion. His implicit epistemology also suggests a model of theological and ethical inquiry in which change and development can be an organic outgrowth of tradition.weiterlesen
