The Bible, as a text, carries within it a world that allows the reader to better understand him or herself. In general, the hermeneutics of texts can be applied both to the biblical domain and to other specific domains. However, Ricoeur argues that this specific application to the Bible offers an interesting opportunity, as it reveals the uniqueness of biblical hermeneutics. The Bible presents itself as an internally structured ensemble, where the naming of God stands as the point of convergence for different forms of discourse, such as narratives, laws, prophecies, proverbs, and hymns. At the same time, this naming of God always remains in the abyss, referring to the “God” or the “Infinite”. Thus, particular forms of discourse, like parables, eschatological proclamations, and proverbial formulas, emerge with their dimension of “strangeness”, hyperbolic or paradoxical, creating a rupture in the common perception of the world and reorienting existence through an initial disorientation. This “logic of the absurd” inaugurated by the texts points towards that which transcends our everyday reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
