Description
The Study of the Bible in the Middle Ages by Beryl Smalley provides a systematic account of the changes in Bible studies in northwestern Europe from the Carolingian renaissance to about 1300. This period saw the emergence of Aristotelian thought, inspiring medieval scholars to re-examine the Scriptures. Medieval commentaries on the Bible confirm that they did so and expressed their reactions in writing. By examining the history of biblical interpretation, readers can gain insight into the social and cultural upheavals taking place during this time. This book offers valuable information for medieval historians and students of literature, enabling them to understand earlier scholars' contributions to exegesis and apply the history of biblical interpretation as a context for understanding contemporary social and cultural changes.
