Description: A blended presentation of a broad spectrum of biblical interpretation from different traditions

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.

Contributors: Carol Bakhos, Guy Bedouelle, Paul M. Blowers, J. Keith Elliott, Russell Fuller, Lee W. Gibbs, Robert A. Harris, Alan J. Hauser, Lynne Long, Mary A. Mayeski, Stuart Murray, Christopher Ocker, Barbara Pitkin, Erika Rummel, Mark D. Thompson, Duane F. Watson, 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."
