Many readers of the Bible think that interpreting Scripture well simply requires a two-way dialogue between themselves and the text. However, if we believe that God has been speaking through the Bible to devout believers for the past two thousand years it would seem that we should find a way to identify the insights they perceived in the text so that we could learn to read the text with them. Using reception theory, the goal of Reading the Bible with Giants is to bring our tradition of biblical interpretation into our dialogue with the text in order to engage the contemporary reader, the Bible, and the history of its interpretation in a three-way dialogue.
