About the Author :
Joshua D. Broggi is a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College and a member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion at the University of Oxford, UK.

Review :
Sacred Language, Sacred World addresses the question, "when interpreting scripture, what does it mean to have commitments?" In the course of offering various answers, it also aims to overcome false separations between things that belong together. Thematically, it argues that scripture, tradition and reason are identical, in the sense that all of these things, when treated in theology, are different ways of investigating the same insight. Disciplinarily, it shows that World Christianity, Philosophical Theology and Biblical Interpretation belong together: Kimbanguist interpretation of the Bible in the Belgian Congo is skillfully woven together with detailed (and novel) interpretations of Heidegger and Gadamer. In an era of sometimes damaging over-specialisation in academic inquiry, Broggi boldly crosses borders and queries familiar nostrums. This important book, displaying great independence of mind, places philosophical classics in the service of theological interpretation of scripture. Broggi's creative engagement with Heidegger and Gadamer generates a thought-provoking and potentially fruitful way of understanding how reason presents itself in (and so may absent itself from) religious traditions. Broggi is excellent in his use of Heidegger and Gadamer. Bridging the gap between textual and philosophical hermeneutics is no easy task, yet Broggi's careful analysis presents a compelling argument for a reimagined look at the unity of scripture, tradition, and reason. Broggi is a careful and precise writer, making this work easily accessible to those unfamiliar with Heidegger or Gadamer. Broggi's text is a masterful achievement for theology, hermeneutics, and philosophy.
