“A theological interpretation of the BIble is more likely to be critical of readers than of the biblical authors or biblical texts. It is not that text criticism and other forms of criticism have no role; it is rather a matter of the ultimate aim of reading. Those who seek to interpret Scripture theologically want to hear the word of God in Scripture and hence to be transformed by the renewing of their minds (Rom 12:2). In this respect, it is important to note that God must not be an ‘afterthought’ in biblical interpretaion.”
