This is a collection of unpublished and published essays by the late Protestant theologian Hans Frei, on the subject of biblical interpretation. Placher provides an introduction, and Hunsinger an interpretive afterword. The volume will serve to make Frei's view more accessible to a wider circle of students and scholars. We are all in George Hunsinger's and William Placher's debt. A few years ago they edited and published some of Hans Frei's last lectures and other writings...and now they have brought together most of his published essays together with a a few previously unpublished pieces to form a collection that is perhaps Frei's most important book.
