This Resource’s Key Interpretations and Insights Related to the Purposes of This Website
For me, this is the best secondary source on the postmodern philosopher who can most adequately ground the many different forms of healthy (center-left and center-right) theological interpretations of the Christian faith.
"In this volume Dan Stiver investigates the implications of Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutical philosophy for a genuine postmodern theology. Stiver not only provides a comprehensive interpretation of Ricoeur but also applies Ricoeur's hermeneutical theory to biblical interpretation and theology. Stiver is careful to situate Ricoeur's contributions in the Yale-Chicago debate and show how Ricoeur's textual theory provide an alternative to both George Lindbeck, on the one hand, and deconstruction, on the other."

"Dan Stiver's beautifully written and superbly conceived introduction to Paul Ricoeur makes a major contribution to theological and hermeneutical studies. He presents Ricoeur, rightly I think, as one of the major postmodern thinkers of our time, and one whose work promises to continue orienting our perspective for years to come. This book is just the right synthesis of Ricoeur's work that we have been needing." ~William Stacy Johnson, Princeton Theological Seminary

"Stiver balances careful interpretation with creative appropriation of Ricoeur's writings. The insightful assessment of Ricoeur's hermeneutical thought illumines new pathways for the relationship between postmodern philosophy and theology. Christians struggling through the thickets of pluralistic perplexity will find Stiver to be a wise guide." ~Charles J. Scales, Fuller Theological Seminary
