Correct answer: (C) Theology — Hermeneutics is drawn from theology, so the answer is theology.
Explanation
★Hermeneutics is drawn from theology, so the answer is theology.
★Hermeneutics means the theory or art of interpretation, and it first developed as the disciplined interpretation of religious and scriptural texts.
★Because that interpretive tradition grew within the study of scripture, its parent field is theology rather than a social science.
★Sociology studies society and groups, anthropology studies human beings and culture, and economics studies production and exchange, none of which is the origin of the term.
★In education the idea is borrowed to stress interpreting meaning and understanding, but the word itself is rooted in theological interpretation.
★So among the four options only theology names the field from which hermeneutics is actually drawn.
