ABSTRACT
This chapter develops our typology looking at examples of type two. Those who represent this type have two characteristics. First, they see the initial, primary, or decisive issues in reading Scripture as being derivative of some aspect of the question 'how is Scripture used or read'. Second, in answering this question, they employ methods and focus their investigation decisively or exclusively on some dimension of human activity or human quality present in the reading. Hans Frei stands as particularly illustrative figure in this survey in that the trajectory of his work took him from type one to a moderate position in type two. This shift should not be thought of as either sudden or as an abandonment of one position for another. Rather, Frei increasingly became aware of questions which were not answered by his early defense of the integrity of the text. Frei was uncomfortable with thinking of himself as a theologian: he saw himself more as a historian.
