Description
Summary:This article brings together two distinct and seemingly disparate fields of adolescent faith development and philosophical hermeneutics. The dialogue between these provides a potential framework ( an adolescent hermeneutic) to address whether youth approach the Bible with a unique agenda shaped by their stage in life as adolescents. The article proposes four "markers" of an adolescent hermeneutic that are identified and tested against the themes of narrative and temporality from philosophical hermeneutics and then applied to a reading of a Gospel text.
