Trinity, Revelation, and Reading (TRR) is a theological introduction
to the Bible and biblical interpretation. The overarching thesis is
that neither the Bible nor biblical hermeneutics can be understood or
practiced properly apart from an appreciation of their relationship to
the triune God and his gracious economy of redemption. Scott Swain
treats the role of the Word in the saving economy of the triune God,
the role and status of Scripture as the Word of God, the nature of
biblical reading as a covenantal enterprise, as well as a host of
other related topics. These topics are addressed by way of a
constructive appropriation, or ressourcement, of many of the themes of
patristic theology and early Protestant divinity (esp. Reformed
Orthodoxy), while building upon the work of important contemporary
theologians as well (e.g., Karl Barth, John Webster, Kevin Vanhoozer).
The ultimate goal of this study is that readers will appreciate better
the ways in which biblical interpretation is an aspect of their
covenantal engagement with the triune God.
