One of the most pervasive features of the Greek translation of the Psalter is the translation of “to the director” (Heb. lamnassēªḥ) with “to the end” (Gr. eis to telos) in about a third of the Psalms....

Neil Macdonald’s intriguing point is that ‘events’ are bigger than author’s intentions.... Stephen Wright deals helpfully with the question of the bible’s imperfection.... Also positive is Trevor Hart’s essay on Imagination.... the most successful of the ‘conversations’ in Book One.... Chris Seitz [contributes] an essay that is less about interpretation and more about the nature of Scripture and the tragedy of Anglican biblical interpretation.... Colin Greene['s essay] is more than a little diffuse, and reads as though by someone who is very new to Lessing and Pannenberg....
"The principle value of precritical exegesis is that it is not modern exegesis; it is alien, strange, sometimes even, from our perspective, comic and fantastical.

Since 1998 the Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar has met annually with the purpose of renewing interpretation of the Bible in the Academy. Out of these consultations has come the Scripture and Hermeneutics Series, in eight parts, published by Zondervan and Paternoster Press. In recognition of this achievement, S&T is running an eight-part review of SHS 1–8, by Mark Elliott.

The crux interpretum of the second psalm has been the four words that span the end of the eleventh verse and the beginning of the twelfth. A “straight” reading of the MT for these words yields: “Rejoice with trembling. Kiss the son” (cf. ASV, ESV, KJV, NIV). However, the “straight” reading is questioned from a variety of angles.
