Contemporary Questions in Philosophical and Theological Hermeneutics Though originally restricted to interpreting legal and biblical texts, hermeneutics now makes a distinctive contribution across the full extent of both philosophy and theology. This colloquium opens up a wide range of questions in which hermeneutics is engaged, drawing together important scholars from France and across Australia.
