Hermeneutics Group
April 9 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
The Hermeneutics Group will be discussing Clement Wen’s paper: “Bonhoeffer’s Dissertations as an Exercise in Hermeneutics? An Introductory Lecture.”
In this paper, Dr. Wen argues that Bonhoeffer’s early thought, as given to us through his two doctoral dissertations—Sanctorum Communio: A Theological Study of the Sociology of the Church (1927, published 1930) and Act and Being: Transcendental Philosophy and Ontology in Systematic Theology (1931)—are themselves implicitly hermeneutical in nature and orientation and therefore can be discussed and evaluated as such.
The Hermeneutics Group is a monthly gathering of faculty, students, and others interested in the issues surrounding hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is a multidisciplinary field of growing interest. It is concerned with how we understand the world around us, especially but not exclusively written texts, but also art, music, and other meaning-making events. Those interested in joining the group should contact Isaiah Padgett to be put on the email list for further information.
