Theological Implications on the Ontological Interpretive Missing Links in the New Testament Biblical Literature
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 06
Abstract
Concepts in the New Testament Biblical literature cannot be deciphered aptly without rationalization for successful interpretation. This needs a key to unlock the knowledge in it due to the fact that the language used to address specific issues in a particular society might be misunderstood literally by other societies otherwise, without proper contextualization. In this article, however, it was discovered that reading the New Testament Biblical literature with a parochial attitude is misleading and distorting. Scholars have affirmed that a mere conventional approach to the study of the New Testament Biblical literature is an injustice in literary terms and hence the need to tackle it. In tackling such issues, the study analyzed literary works by a variety of authors by use of the phenomenological approach. Different literary genres such as figurative speeches, parables, symbols, types and antitypes, proof texts, narratives, Epistles, allegories, metaphors, among others were discussed. Linguistic issues surfaced herein and played a pivotal role in resolving unnecessary conflicts. The study found out interlink between contextualization and proper interpretation of the New Testament Biblical literature.
