The Kingdom of God as Endless Hermeneutic: A Phenomenology of the Way

Bruce Ellis Benson

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this essay, I attempt to think along with Kevin Hart, though improvising on his text in my own way, by suggesting that ‘the way’ is one that calls anyone who wishes to follow, that it is, at heart, all about doing battle with oneself, and that this battle is best thought of as an endless hermeneutic, one inaugurated by Jesus yet also with classical precedents.
