Richard Briggs first provides an introduction to speech act theory. He discusses its principles and its claims, and he considers its usefulness in relation to hermeneutical issues in theological and biblical studies. The second part of the book demonstrates the use of speech act theory in the task of biblical interpretation, especially for example in the areas of confession, of forgiveness and of teaching. In his conclusion, the author draws out the importance of speech act theory for contemporary hermeneutics.
