This classic, first published in 1969, introduces to English-speaking readers a field which is of increasing importance in contemporary philosophy and theology--hermeneutics, the theory of understanding, or interpretation.Richard E. Palmer, utilizing largely untranslated sources, treats principally of the conception of hermeneutics enunciated by Heidegger and developed into a "philosophical hermeneutics" by Hans-Georg Gadamer. He provides a brief overview of the field by surveying some half-dozen alternate definitions of the term and by examining in detail the contributions of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Wilhelm Dilthey. In the Manifesto which concludes the book, Palmer suggests the potential significance of hermeneutics for literary interpretation.

This is truly a good introduction to understanding Biblical interpretation.....it is a heavy read but yet very helpful book as an introduction to hermeneutics.
Started reading this book for class, and it is pretty informative, but I don't think I would buy this book just for fun to read unless you're a philosophy major
I had to read this book for school. It was okay as a history of a very misconcieved topic. Frankly, after reading Noam Chomsky's New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind, Palmer's book is (I believe) mostly beside the point. But when compared to other intro books on "hermeneutics" it's probably as good as any, maybe a bit dated. Still, the language is clear enough to understand (a sign of it's out datedness). If your interested in langauge pick up The Cambridge Companion to Chomsky.
