%0 Journal Article %T Paul Ricoeur and the Biblical Hermeneutics %A George Bondor %J Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies %D 2011 %I Seminar for the Interdisciplinary Research of Religions and Ideologies %X The main aim of this paper is to analyze the texts in which Paul Ricoeur discusses the relation between biblical and philosophical hermeneutics and to argue that biblical hermeneutics is the central part of RicoeurĄ¯s philosophical project. If the modern hermeneutics (Schleiermacher, Dilthey, etc.) aims to reveal the general principles of interpretation that can be applied to every text, including the sacred one, RicoeurĄ¯s biblical hermeneutics reveals the limits of general hermeneutics when it deals with an unusual text. The consequences of the biblical hermeneutics refer to specific problems such as revelation and faith, but also to philosophical themes such as the self and its place in the world. %K Biblical Hermeneutics %K Exegesis %K Interpretation %K Paul Ricoeur %K Text %K Discursive Forms %K Narration %K Self %U http://jsri.ro/ojs/index.php/jsri/article/view/476
