Description
" In the early Christian centuries, as today, "biblical interpretation determined theology and theology shaped biblical hermeneutics," notes David S. Dockery. Dockery tells the story of that interrelationship from Jesus' use of the Old Testament through the Council of Chalcedon in 451. He identifies key models to show that few twentieth-century issues are new. Each theological movement can be categorized by its approach to Scripture. Some fascinating figures contriubted to these models, especially Clement, Ignatius, Just Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, John Chrysotom, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Augustine, Jerome, and Theodoret. Dockery explains the influential Alexandrian and Antiochene schools of biblical exegesis." -- Book cover.
