{"product_id":"participatory-biblical-exegesis","title":"Participatory Biblical Exegesis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe interpretation of Scripture has depended largely on the view of history held by theologians and exegetes. In \u003ci\u003eParticipatory Biblical Exegesis\u003c\/i\u003e, Matthew Levering examines the changing views of history that distinguish patristic and medieval biblical exegesis from modern historical-critical exegesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLevering argues for a delicate interpretive balance, in which history is understood both as a process that participates in God’s creative and redemptive presence and as a set of linear moments. He identifies a split between theological and historical interpretations of scripture beginning in the high Middle Ages, considerably earlier than the emergence of historical-critical methods in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Instead, he offers a vision of Scripture that is rooted in the exegetical practice of St. Thomas Aquinas and his sources but embraces historical-critical research as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eParticipatory Biblical Exegesis\u003c\/i\u003e provides an original theological basis for critical exegesis. It integrates the work of contemporary exegetes, philosophers, theologians, and historians to provide a compelling vision of biblical interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Matthew Levering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572016644278,"sku":"9780268034061","price":83.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780268034061_372fe143-f1bc-46ca-b29c-bb3a05cf3558.jpg?v=1738964317","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/participatory-biblical-exegesis","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
