I am interested in compiling a reading list of works to do with 'theological interpretation of Scripture. It is a growing field of theological investigation. What's exciting about it is that biblical studies and systematic theology are ending their turf war over who can and can't read scripture.
Can you add to this list? (Francis Watson's works are an obvious addition).
Scripture's Doctrine and Theology's Bible: Howthe New Testament Shapes Christian Dogmatics ed Marcus Bockmeuhl
Introducing Theological Interpretation of Scripture: Recovering a Christian Practice by Daniel Treier
The Theological Interpretation of Scripture: Classic and Contemporary Readings ed Stephen Fowl
Dictionary for Theological Interpretation of the Bible ed Kevin Vanhoozer

The SCM / Brazos Theological Commentaries on the Bible might be of some relevance.
Journal of Theological Interpretation (Eisenbrauns)
Bockmeuhl's earlier work Seeing the Word (Brazos, 2006)
Fowl's Engaging Scripture (Blackwell 1998)
The new commentary series from Brazos - Brazos Theological Commentaries and also Eerdmans Two Horizons Commentary series
Reading Scripture With the Church (AKA Adam, Stephen Fowl, Francis Watson, and Kevin Vanhoozer; Baker Academic, 2006)
As it happens I am currently reading...
'Biblical Interpretation Then & Now: Contemporary Hermeneutics in the Light of the Early Church' David.S. Dockery
Not sure if this is what you are after- but it is am amazing read!
Cheers,
Irene
A move back to a theological emphasis in interpreting the Bible is like deciding it's more profitable to look at the front of the Bayeaux tapestry than the back.
Mike,
Congrats on finishing etc etc.
Look forward to catching up when you get back!
Can you clarify what you mean by 'theological' interpretation? do we ever do anything different? What does a sermon sound like which is not done this way?
Quick comment. I've loved your blog for a while now and you've had a link on my 'Just This Side of Heresy' blog. Anyway, a couple of us have founded Exegeek.com and I thought you should know that you're on our blogroll there, as well.
oh, well now, that IS kind. I'll pop in!
