This theory draws together the best of contemporary scholarship about hermeneutics with compelling insights from modern research concerning psychological type.After presenting the theory, Leslie J Francis and Andrew Village provide concrete examples of the SIFT method of biblical hermeneutics and liturgical preaching. This approach releases the gospel message to be proclaimed and to be heard in a full and rounded manner that touches all of the human mind and soul.Part 1 - Preaching and Hermeneutics includes: Preaching and meaning; Preachers as readers; Perception and evaluation in reading; Reading the Bible; and, Reading the Spirit; Reading the context.
Part 2 - Preaching and Psychological Type includes: Theology and individual differences; Models of personality; Understanding psychological type; Psychological type and faith; Psychological type and reading the Bible; and, Psychological type and preaching.
