Publication life cycle / General notes

Previously published articles, originally undertaken and conceived as comprising the first of a 3-volume work on hermeneutics. Torrance's intent was to focus on "the history of hermeneutical thought in which particular attention was devoted to the epistemological issues involved" (Preface, p. 1). Torrance regards "The Hermeneutics of John Calvin" as the second volume.
