Abstract

The exploration of the horizons: Searching for a contemporary homiletic hermeneutics

The exploration of the horizons: Searching for a contemporary homiletic hermeneutics In this article, the author takes up the Ricoeurian idea of a dual hermeneutic. The article emphasizes the need for critical homiletics, not only to make the invaluable and necessary recourse to a “hermeneutics of suspicion” but also moves beyond it to a “hermeneutics of recollection” that is sympathetic to religion. The concept of a second naiveté is also considered in relation to the dialectic between the two hermeneutical extremes.
