Opis

"This volume would serve as a wonderful course book for undergraduates and graduates, one that illustrates both the signal differences and the surprising parallels within and among the three Abrahamic traditions of scriptural exegesis."--Speculum

"Indispensable ... deserves an honored place on the shelves of public and private research libraries everywhere."--Catholic Biblical Quarterly

"A rich feast ... the three 'courses' of the book offer significant contributions to our understanding of exegesis in each specific tradition."--Journal of the American Academy of Religion

"With Reverence for the Word is both a readable and informative collection of essays important to the study of medieval scriptural exegesis." --Journal of Near Eastern Studies

Recenzje

For anyone involved in 'scriptual reasoning' or 'meetings for better understanding' with those of other fatihs, or for those interested in the middle ages, this could be a valuable volume to dip into.
