Bible, Theology and the University: a Response To Philip Davies

Dept. of Theology and Religious Studies, Kings College London Strand, London WC2R 2LS

This paper responds to the claim that, in a university context, it is inappropriate for biblical interpretation to be influenced, directly or indirectly, by theological concerns. Far from assimilating biblical studies to other humanities disciplines, this exclusion- order would in fact make biblical studies an anomaly. Yet, on theological grounds, it is inadequate to counter the exclusion-order by appealing to a pluralistic meta- perspective within which various modes of interpretation (including theological ones) all have their own relative legitimacy.
