Contents:
Introduction -- Embodying the text : Jerome's Commentariorum in Mattheum -- Faith in realities : Hilary's In Matthaeum and De Trinitate -- Through the eyes of the evangelist : Ambrose's Expositio evangelii secundam Lucam -- Augustine and the senses of scripture : In Iohannis evangelium and Sermones de tempore -- A wide-angle lens : distinguishing features of Augustine's exegesis -- Conclusions : interpretation then and now.
Summary: "By grasping how the church of a particular time period reads the Scriptures, we can understand much of the Christianity of that age. This volume examines how the Gospel accounts at the heart of the Christian faith, the passion and resurrection of Christ, were interpreted by four key authors from late antiquity. In analyzing the readings and methods of Hilary of Poitiers, Ambrose, Jerome, and Augustine, this work advocates for a reshaping of the categories commonly used to understand Latin patristic exegesis. It also prompts reflection upon habits of biblical interpretation and the pastoral application of Scripture in our own time"--Page 4 of cover.
