Biblical Exegesis and the Formation of Christian Culture
In this study of the influence of the late ancient educational system on patristic biblical exegesis, simplistic reductions to discrete methods (moral, typological, allegorical) and schools (Alexandrian, Antiochene) give way to a more nuanced appreciation. Professor Young's lucid study shows how early Christians used the interpretive tools of Greco Roman culture to build an alternative Christian culture on the basis of the biblical text.
