In \u003ci\u003eParticipatory Biblical Exegesis\u003c\/i\u003e, Matthew Levering examines the changing views of history that distinguish patristic and medieval biblical exegesis from modern historical-critical exegesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLevering argues for a delicate interpretive balance, in which history is understood both as a process that participates in God's creative and redemptive presence and as a set of linear moments. He identifies a split between theological and historical interpretations of scripture beginning in the high Middle Ages, considerably earlier than the emergence of historical-critical methods in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Instead, he offers a vision of Scripture that is rooted in the exegetical practice of St. Thomas Aquinas and his sources but embraces historical-critical research as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eParticipatory Biblical Exegesis\u003c\/i\u003e provides an original theological basis for critical exegesis. It integrates the work of contemporary exegetes, philosophers, theologians, and historians to provide a compelling vision of biblical interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Levering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268034060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268034061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.35w x 1.12d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2008 pg. 90","brand":"Matthew Levering","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46384172826879,"sku":"9780268034061","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3e91494-b887-44c5-a132-824ea4b1bebb.jpg?v=1733282934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/participatory-biblical-exegesis-matthew-levering-9780268034061","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
