Praise for the Print Edition
Provides readers with a generally able and well documented survey of patristic biblical interpretation and a significant discussion of the potential importance of earlier patterns of interpretation to contemporary hermeneutical discussion.
—Richard A. Muller, Calvin Theological Journal
Those seeking a general introduction to patristic hermeneutics will be grateful once again for this book's availability.
—Amos Yong, Religious Studies Review
A useful survey for beginning students: the writing is clear, the overall appraisal of the period follows generally accepted lines, and the attention to contemporary concerns can help the reader approach the topic with a valuable perspective.
—Moisés Silva, Westminster Theological Journal
A well-documented, readable, and welcome addition to one's theological library.
—Roy B. Zuck and Joe Walters, Bibliotheca Sacra
