Synopsis "Originalism in Theology and Law: Comparing Perspectives on the Bible and the Constitution"
In the study of American law, originalism is primarily a theory about the meaning of the Constitution--that its meaning can only change when its words change. Originalism also appears in biblical theology as a theory on the meaning of the Bible--that its meaning is that intended by the original authors. Originalism in Theology and Law: Comparing Perspectives on the Bible and the Constitution offers a study of originalism in both the Bible and the Constitution. While there are significant connections between originalism as a theory of biblical interpretation and as Constitutional interpretation, there are also differences in the type of text as well as its purpose, function, origins, or authority, which may affect which nuanced version of originalism best fits a particular text, or the best method of interpreting it.
