Existing approaches to biblical interpretation predominantly imagine a solitary reader approaching the scripture texts with a scholarly lens, and do not account for the
process of interpretation that takes place when pericopes are proclaimed from the Lectionary in the ecclesial context of the Catholic Mass This research will place biblical and liturgical theology into a critical dialogue with philosophical hermeneutics to argue that meaning emerges in the scriptural proclamation due to the collision of four horizons – that of the Bible text, the Lectionary text, the homilist, and the individual worshipper – who each contribute presumptions and experiences to the interpretive event. In addition to these four horizons, the proposed model asserts that interpretation of the scriptural proclamation is influenced by two contextual factors – the liturgical event and the ecclesial community.
