Item description from seller

xviii, [3], 214 p.; 19.5 cm. Contents (omitting sections): Introduction: aims, timeliness, and methods of the following study -- Part I. The patristic period: 1. the extent and importance of the patristic argument from prophecy - 2. predominance of the predictive element in the patristic argument from prophecy - 3. exegetical method in patristic argument from prophecy: the allegory - 4. allegorical method of exegesis and the uncertainty of interpretation - 5. the church as authoritative interpreter of scripture -- Part II.

(p. 189 f.) Good orig. blue cloth. Some pencil marking.…
