Biblical Hermeneutics

Abstract

Abstract This chapter presents a survey of biblical interpretation in the Byzantine world from late antiquity through the late Byzantine period. Literary genres, schools of thought, historical periods, as well as major writers, theologians, and exegetes are covered. Consideration is given to the historical antecedents of Byzantine biblical hermeneutics in Jewish and Greek interpretive practices. Significant emphasis is given to hermeneutical questions, with special attention to allegory. Many of the texts that are surveyed are either unpublished, unavailable in modern translations, or only poorly known by scholars, opening up avenues for new research and study.
