ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN CONTEXT AND THEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE: AN EXPLORATION IN DANIEL 7:1–14
2022
Overview
This study argues that understanding the ANE cognitive environment contributes to TIS readings of OT texts. While there are numerous definitions of and approaches to TIS, a review of recent literature on the discipline finds a broad consensus that TIS readings affirm Scripture as the revelation of the Triune God to his people. Because the Triune God revealed himself in an ANE context, understanding that context increases our understanding of God's self-revelation. The present study demonstrates the value of such an approach by undertaking a TIS reading of Daniel 7:1-14 with attention to its ANE context, revealing theological facets of the text that would be missed if the ANE context were not considered. Additionally, the research demonstrates that TIS and historical-cultural methodologies do not have to be at odds. Readings that consider both methodologies avoid both ignoring the historical meaning of the text and denying that the primary purpose of Scripture is to convey theological meaning.
