Description
Henri de Lubac's monumental study of medieval exegesis and theology explores the dominant approach to biblical interpretation in the Middle Ages. Focusing on the "four senses" of Scripture, de Lubac examines the works of prominent commentators from this period, shedding light on their methods and insights. The medieval approach to Scripture is characterized by a search for allegorical meaning, which was a central concern for many of these commentators. This study provides a detailed analysis of their approaches and the theological context in which they worked. Through de Lubac's work, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the medieval understanding of Scripture and its significance for Christian theology.
