Beskrivning

A distinguished group of authors here illuminate a broad spectrum of themes in the history of biblical interpretation. Originally published in 1990, these essays take as their common ground the thesis that the intellectual and religious life of the sixteenth century cannot be understood without attention to the preoccupation of sixteenth-century humanists and theologians with the interpretation of the Bible. Topics explored include Jewish exegesis and problems of Old Testament interpretation and the relationship between the Bible and social, political, and institutional history. Contributors. Irena Backus, Guy Bedouelle, Kalman P. Bland, Kenneth G. Hagen, Scott H. Hagen, Scott H. Hendrix, R. Gerald Hobbs, Jean-Claude Margolin, H. C. Erik Midelfort, Richard A. Muller, John B. Payne, David C. Steinmetz

All blurbs are from reviews for the cloth edition: 'These essays ... provide a valuable introduction to the sixteenth-century Bible commentary as a genre. However, the contributors have also succeeded in forging links between this genre and larger themes and problems of sixteenth-century history, offering numerous examples of how commentaries mirror the intellectual, social, and institutional developments of their time.' - Stephen G. Burnett, The Sixteenth Century Journal 'The book contributes to the cause of understanding Reformation era exegetical debates in their late medieval context rather than from an anachronistic perspective that attempts to claim the Protestant Reformers for one side or the other in modern debates over doctrines of Scripture.' - Joel E. Kok, Calvin Theological Journal 'All who work in this history of exegesis and its impact on society will want to read this volume...' - Robert Kolb, Religious Studies Review
