Palmer, Richard Edward. Hermeneutics: Interpretation Theory in Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Heidegger, and Gadamer. Northwestern University Press, 2000
Hermeneutics refers to the methodology and theory of interpreting language, primarily linguistic text. In the book Hermeneutics, Palmer uses rhetoric and different philosophies of communication to expound issues concerning theology. The view of understanding involves the philological methodology and questions the nature of historical knowledge, the philosophy of language, and the basis of interpretation in existential experience. A key driver to writing this book entails the urge to seek the relevance of the Bultimannian theory of biblical interpretation in understanding the literary theory.
