THP the hermeneutics of faith over the hermeneutics of suspicion as the primary way of interpreting scholarly texts
For the sake of this debate, a "Hermeneutics of Suspicion" refers to a method of textual interpretation in which the reader assumes that meaning comes primarily from outside a text. "Hermeneutics of faith" refers to a method of textual interpretation that primarily focuses on meaning internal to the text and excludes the circumstances of its authorship.
