Synopsis

Scriptural Exegesis gathers voices from an international community of scholars to consider the many facets of the history of biblical interpretation and to question how exegesis shapes spiritual and cultural creativity. Divided into four broadly chronological sections that chart a variety of approaches from ancient to modern times, the essays examine texts and problems rooted in the ancient world yet still of concern today. Eighteen chapters incorporate the expertise of contributors from a diverse range of disciplines, including ancient religion, philosophy, mysticism, and folklore. Each embraces the challenge of explicating complex and often esoteric writings in light of Michael Fishbane's groundbreaking work in exegesis.

Revue de presse

It is a fitting tribute to a distinguished scholar that this Festschrift covers so much ground ... these are detailed technical papers which offer penetrating analysis and fascinating insights into neglected aspects of the Jewish and Christian interpretative traditions. (Alan Le Grys, Journal for the Study of the New Testament)
