A History of Biblical Interpretation

Volume 2: The Medieval through the Reformation Periods.A
History of Biblical Interpretation provides detailed and extensive studies
of the interpretation of the Scriptures by Jewish and Christian writers
throughout the ages. Written by internationally renowned scholars, this
multivolume work comprehensively treats the many different methods of
interpretation, the many important interpreters from various eras, and the many
key issues that have surfaced repeatedly over the long course of biblical
interpretation.This second installment contains essays by fifteen noted
scholars discussing major methods, movements, and interpreters in the Jewish
and Christian communities from the beginning of the Middle Ages until the end
of the sixteenth-century Reformation. The authors examine such themes as the
variety of interpretive developments within Judaism during this period, the
monumental work of Rashi and his followers, the achievements of the Carolingian
era, and the later scholastic developments within the universities, beginning
in the twelfth century. Included are bibliographical references for even deeper
study.Editors: Alan J. Hauser and Duane F. Watson.Contributors:

Thompson, Duane F. Watson, and Timothy Wengert.'This exposition of
nearly a millennium of Jewish and Christian biblical interpretation will be
welcomed by all intelligent readers of the sacred text as well as those
interested more generally in the subject of interpretation. Hardly a verse of
the Bible can be named that has escaped the constant intellectual and prayerful
attention of the believing community. This learned but readable collection of
essays makes that assertion concrete in an accessible and unmistakable
fashion.' - Lawrence S. CunninghamRecommended € 49,90
