The Fourth Horizon: The Mental World as a Critical Lens for Hermeneutics and Homiletics

This is a new book project of mine that I am working hard on these days.

Biblical scholarship has long navigated the intricate landscapes of the historical world (meaning behind the text), the literary world (meaning within the text), and the reader's horizon (meaning in front of the text). Yet, despite rigorous methods, a crucial dimension often remains unexplored: the deep cognitive dynamics and psychological interiority embedded within scripture, its contexts, and its reception.

  • Discover the hidden psychological landscape of Scripture and transform how you interpret and preach the Bible.
  • Unlock the Bible’s "Fourth Horizon"—the mental world—where critical inquiry meets the deepest cognitive truths of the text.
  • Move beyond history and literature to explore the mind behind the text: a groundbreaking paradigm for modern preaching.
  • Revitalize your reading of Scripture by mastering the "critical mind"—the essential bridge between ancient text and modern thought.
  • A revolutionary new lens for biblical interpretation that reveals the cognitive depths often missed by traditional scholarship.
