Clement and Scriptural Exegesis: The Making of a Commentarial Theologian (Oxford Early Christian Studies) by H. Clifton Ward
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.0 MB
Overview: How might one describe early Christian exegesis?
This question has given rise to a significant reassessment of patristic exegetical practice in recent decades, and H. Clifton Ward makes a new contribution to this reappraisal of patristic exegesis against the background of ancient Greco-Roman education. In tracing the practices of literary analysis and rhetorical memory in the ancient sources, Clement and Scriptural Exegesis argues that there were two modes of archival thinking at the heart of the ancient exegetical enterprise: the grammatical archive, a repository of the textual practices learned from the grammarian, and the memorial archive, the constellations of textual memories from which meaning is constructed.
