About this title

Synopsis

This book attempts to reunite what has been divided by illustrating the close relationship that should exist between textual criticism and theological, philosophical, and historical interpretation. The case studies illustrate where the tradition of a specific text has affected its meaning and subsequent interpretation.

Review

"This series of studies will also contribute to a more sophisticated use of critical editions." (Prof. J. Patout Burns Jr. Vanderbilt University) "The articles are well written and valuable in themselves as serious scholarly contributions to a variety of patristic texts." (Prof. Ronnie J. Rombs University of Dallas)"
