Is an asian reading of Gospel possible? If the insinuation is that is not possible, the inherent assumption is that there can be only one universally valid interpretation of the Gospel. But in the history of the church there has been several schools of interpreting the New Testament texts. During the period of the Church Fathers (2nd-5nd century) there were different schools of Biblical interpretation like the Alexandrian and the Antiochean schools in the Near East. The fathers of the Church developed modes of reading the Sriptures in correlation to their cultural milieu and in response to the needs of the Local Church. In their sermons and treatises there is a rich variety of interpretations of the texts. This variety has been to a great extent lost in the course of the subsequent centuries. Dogmatic concerns could override Scriptural interpretation to such an extent that a creative reading of the Word of God was held in suspicion. During the last hundred years attemps have been made to develop a hermeneutic of tyhe texts. As a result we have rich material of exegetical and hermeneutic studies evolving on the landscapeof Biblical interpretation worldwide. On the whole the western research probes into the exegetical framework, the Latin American studies articulate the social-liberative relevance, and the Asian interpretations pursue an interreligious hermeneutics. With all these creative works the Church is rediscovering the pristine genius of the Church Fathers. Pluralism in the interpretation of Biblical texts is now an accepted method. The inherent in the breadth, the height and the depth of the mystery inherent i the Word of God cannot be exhausted by just one normative interpretation.
