Available now for the first time in English, this long-sought-after volume is an essential addition to the library of those whose study leads them into the difficult field of biblical interpretation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The first volume in de Lubac's multivolume work begins his comprehensive historical and literary study of the way Scripture was interpreted by the church of the Latin Middle Ages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Examining the prominent commentators of the Middle Ages and their texts, de Lubac discusses the medieval approach to biblical interpretation that sought \"the four senses\" of Scripture, especially the dominant practice of attempting to uncover Scripture's allegorical meaning. Though Bible interpreters from the Enlightenment era on have criticized such allegorizing as part of the \"naivete of the Middle Ages,\" de Lubac insists that a full understanding of this ancient Christian exegesis provides important insights for us today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henri De Lubac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802841457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802841452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
