Discussion 1A Group Discussion on Meaning

Q Prior to this discussion, the instructor will divide the class into three groups to answer this question: Is meaning found in the text, the writer, or in the reader? • Members of group one will argue that meaning is found in the text. • Members of group two will argue that meaning is found in the writer. • Members of group three will argue that meaning is found in the reader. Use this forum as a means to discuss your answer with the other members of your group. Each member of the group should post at least two meaningful posts and/or responses to this forum. When your group agrees on a summary of your position, one member of your group should post your summary to the forum entitled Week 1 Discussion: Meaning Debate. In order to allow adequate time for discussion, your group representative must post in the debate forum no later than Friday at 11:55 pm.

Meaning is found in the text because of the aspect of autonomous and unchallengeable interpretation from the literary text (Stein, 2011). There is also the presence of the text being free standing implying that there is no force exerted for any reader to believe without development of faith (Stein, 2011). Meaning about a character in a biblical text can be interpreted with personalization (Stein, 2011). Therefore, there can be the establishment of exclusivity in the overall interpretation of the meaning. The textual interpretation can enable the readers to ensure that there are no arguments raised against the interpreted meaning textually.
