What is A hermeneutic critique of structuralist exegesis : with specific reference to Lk 10.29-37 about?

The proper model for biblical studies is both exegetical and hermeneutical, grounded in the sequential unfolding of explanation and interpretation. Karl Rahner's theology provides a convenient framework within which to integrate these different tasks. Rahner's description of the interrelationship between divine transcendence and categorical existence motivates a functional pattern for biblical theology from which to establish a theoretical model for biblical interpretation. This model selectively incorporates insights from the structuralist analytic, and from a phenomenological understanding of language that presumes the discursive operations of narrative texts. Although structuralism and hermeneutics seem to be divergent analytic systems governed by conflicting presuppositions, they are in practice mutually complementary. Chapter I delineates the frame for this complementarity. Chapter II presents structuralist theory from historical, philosophical and conceptual perspectives. Chapter III implements this theory with specific reference to Lk 10.29-37, the Good Samaritan text. Chapter IV examines Ricoeurian categories pertinent to a correlation between structuralism and hermeneutics
