Reader-Response Hermeneutics is a hermeneutical approach within theological interpretation that prioritizes the reader’s active role in constructing meaning, distinguishing itself from text-centered or author-focused methods by emphasizing the interpretive community, historical situatedness, and existential engagement of the reader as integral to the meaning-making process.
