Medieval Exegesis Vol 2: The Four Senses Of Scripture: v. 2 (Ressourcement: Retrieval & Renewal in Catholic Thought S.)

Translated by E. M. Macierowski
Originally published in French, de Lubac's four-volume study of the history of exegesis and theology is one of the most significant works of biblical studies to appear in modern times.


Still as relevant and luminous as when it first appeared, the series offers a key resource for the renewal of biblical interpretation along the lines suggested by the Second Vatican Council in Dei Verbum. This second volume, now available for the first time in English, will fuel the currently growing interest in the history and Christian meaning of exegesis.

Henri de Lubac SJ (1896-1991), a leading figure in twentieth-century Roman Catholicism, was named a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in the mid-1980s.
