Abstract
This essay will quickly review some of the recent movements and concerns that led to the reemergence of theological interpretation of scripture. In this light, the essay will present and examine three issues facing theological interpretation as it moves forward into the future. The first issue concerns debates around the self-definition of theological interpretation. The less said here the better. The second concerns the relationship between theological interpretation and the practices of historical criticism.

Finally, theological interpreters of scripture should focus some attention on the formation of future theological interpreters.
