Analogy and Hermeneutics

Towards an Analogical Epistemology for the Biblical Narrative Text and its Theology

Abstract

Biblical analogical hermeneutics recognizes and accepts the natural interference of subjectivity in it and provides a viable way out of the alternative between modern and postmodern epistemology.
Through a constructive and critical dialogue, I intend in this essay to explore briefly this epistemological model, which is oriented to the interpretation of the biblical narrative text. To do so, I first analyze the hermeneutic-analogical proposal in the philosophical field, as presented by Maurice Beuchot, pioneer of the analogical proposal in Latin America. Next, I explore what would be a biblical analogical hermeneutic, to finally formulate some general implications of the analogical model in relation to the narrative text.
