Abstract
This dissertation explores theological methodology. The objective, within the methodological genre of the hermeneutical circle, is to see a method emerge that is fundamentally balanced; in other words, a theological method that is able to engage with immediate context, wider history, current theologies and classical theologies. Holland and Henriot's notion of the hermeneutical circle - the pastoral circle - emerges as just such as appropriate methodology. There are some minor additions to the pastoral circle that in no way detract from its fundamental methodolgy. In fact, I would argue, they enhance the given methodology of the pastoral circle.
