The Multiple Meaning of Scripture: The Role of Exegesis in Early-Christian and Medieval Culture (Commentaria, 2) - Hardcover
Synopsis
From the beginning of the Christian era and throughout the Middle Ages, biblical interpretation was the field where theological, philosophical and political matters were discussed. At the same time Scripture’s interpretation required the exploration of hermeneutical positions about how a literal and a hidden meaning could be established and how they related to each other. Ranging from early-Christian concerns about the text of the Bible itself, via Carolingian biblical commentaries, and the ever more diverse interpretations from the twelfth century and onwards, to the literary implications of (Jewish) commentary, the articles in this volume examine biblical exegesis both as a discourse on theology, philosophy and politics, and as the context for discussions on its underlying interpretative principles.
Contributors are J. K. Kitchen, Katja Vehlow, Caroline Chevalier-Royet, Sumi Shimahara, Ian Christopher Levy, Pierre Boucaud, Elisabeth Mégier, Cédric Giraud, Wanda Zemler-Cizewski, Ineke van ’t Spijker, Eva De Visscher, Alexander Fidora, Frans van Liere, and Robert A. Harris.

About the book >.>.> The Multiple Meaning of Scripture: The Role of Exegesis in Early-Christian and Medieval Culture by Ienje van t Spijker explores the intricate interpretations of biblical texts and the theological and philosophical implications of these interpretations throughout early Christian and medieval culture. The book examines how different schools of thought established connections between scriptural exegesis and broader theological concerns, including the development of biblical texts and their reception in various historical contexts.With contributions from a diverse group of scholars including J. K. Kitchen, Katja R. Chevalier, Sumi Shimahara, and others, the work covers a wide range of topics pertinent to biblical exegesis. It delves into the evolution of interpretative methods and how they shaped and were shaped by the religious and cultural landscape of the time. The contributors provide insights into Carolingian biblical interpretation, the complexities of historical texts, and the enduring influence of these early exegetical practices on subsequent theological discourse.Ienje van t Spijker, an independent scholar with a Ph.D. in History from the University of Utrecht, brings her expertise in medieval hagiography, biblical exegesis, and concepts of interiority to this comprehensive examination. Her previous work, including Fictions of the Inner Life, informs her analysis of the relationship between religious literature and self-formation in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. This volume not only enriches the understanding of early-Christian and medieval cultures but also invites readers to consider the ongoing significance of scriptural interpretation in shaping religious identity and thought.
