There has always been a hermeneutic problem in Christianity because Christianity proceeds from a proclamation.

Hope, insofar as it is hope of resurrection, is the living contradiction of what it proceeds from and what is placed under the sign of the Cross and death.

Testimony should be a philosophical problem and not limited to legal or historical contexts where it refers to the account of a witness who reports what he has seen.

Testimony demands to be interpreted because of the dialectic of meaning and event that traverses it.

If it is true that there is always more than one way of construing a text, it is not true that all interpretations are equal.

It is always possible to argue against an interpretation, to confront interpretations, to arbitrate between them and to seek for an agreement, even if this agreement remains beyond our reach.
