Biblical Interpretation in the Era of the Reformation: Essays Presented to David C. Steinmetz in Honor of His Sixtieth Birthday

by Richard A. Muller, John Lee Thompson (Editor)

Foreword by Heiko A. Oberman

Seventeen respected colleagues and former students of David C. Steinmetz have contributed to this important collection of essays that examines the exegetical tradition leading into and through the Reformation.

Part 1 offers background perspectives on Reformation-era exegesis. Part 2 explores exegesis and interpretation in the early Reformation. Part 3 examines continuity and change in mid-sixteenth-century biblical interpretation. Following a concluding essay by the editors on the significance of precritical exegesis, the final section of the volume presents an up-to-date bibliography of Steinmetz's writings.

Reviews

[C. A. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some good essays that would encourage a modern day theologian and pastor to consult not only modern, but also early-modern, medieval, and patristic commentaries
