Biblical interpretation (English, Paperback, Bray Gerald)

This book is the first historical survey of biblical interpretation which does justice to the subject in the context of Christian tradition and theology. Every period of Christian history is examined, with case studies which have been carefully chosen to reflect the hermeneutical methods used at different times. The rapid expansion of the subject in recent years is also fully treated, with extensive bibliographies of the major currents of thought in the field today.
