Title: BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION: THE MEANINGS OF SCRIPTURE - PAST AND PRESENT; ED. BY JOHN M. COURT
Description: This resource book for historical studies on biblical interpretation comprises a judicious selection of key readings, including documented examples of important stages in the history of biblical exegesis. The editor, John M. Court, provides a general introduction to the history of reading the Bible. The contributions cover biblical interpretation from the New Testament through the Reformation to the modern period, as well as looking to the future. Biblical Interpretation is designed to challenge some current assumptions about the uniformity of approaches to the Bible and of modes of exegesis; to illustrate that basic continuities do exist; and to inform student and non-specialist alike of the long tradition of reading the Bible to which we are heirs.
