personal and cultural considerations that motivate the reader in choosing among
interpretive alternatives.
These insights are presented to the representatives of the teachers and milieus,
and to the extent that they are persuaded that modern hermeneutic thought replicates
interpretive strategies rooted in classical exegesis, they may be further motivated to
adopt these reading strategies in their teaching.
Chapter 5: The analysis of reading strategies in the deliberative setting is not a goal in

with the process of problemation, and the problems cited in the first chapter must be
juxtaposed to the reading "theories" that have been examined. The bulk of the
problems are rooted in the conflict between the assumptions and values of modern
consciousness and those that attend the phenomenon of miracle. It would appear that
the dialogical approach may provide particularly effective ways not only of resolving

The leading proponent of this approach is Martin Buber, and we will examine in
