QOTD - John Webster's Definition of Theological Interpretation
Theological interpretation can take many forms, some commentarial, some in other genres; not all theological interpretation is immediately recognizable as such. Theological interpretation is not simply a matter of audience (church rather than scholars of the history and literature of biblical religion); nor is it a kind of topical or thematic interpretation, interspersing commonplaces into exegesis; nor is it necessarily a preference for ancient interpretive practices. It is more a way of reading which is informed by a theologically derived set of interpretive goals, which are governed by a conception of what the Bible is: Holy Scripture, God ministering his Word to human beings through human servants and so sharing with them the inestimable good of knowledge of himself.
