About the book >.>.> The Multiple Meaning of Scripture: The Role of Exegesis in Early-Christian and Medieval Culture by Ienje van t Spijker explores the intricate interpretations of biblical texts and the theological and philosophical implications of these interpretations throughout early Christian and medieval culture. The book examines how different schools of thought established connections between scriptural exegesis and broader theological concerns, including the development of biblical texts and their reception in various historical contexts.With contributions from a diverse group of scholars including J. K. Kitchen, Katja R. Chevalier, Sumi Shimahara, and others, the work covers a wide range of topics pertinent to biblical exegesis. It delves into the evolution of interpretative methods and how they shaped and were shaped by the religious and cultural landscape of the time. The contributors provide insights into Carolingian biblical interpretation, the complexities of historical texts, and the enduring influence of these early exegetical practices on subsequent theological discourse.Ienje van t Spijker, an independent scholar with a Ph.D. in History from the University of Utrecht, brings her expertise in medieval hagiography, biblical exegesis, and concepts of interiority to this comprehensive examination. Her previous work, including Fictions of the Inner Life, informs her analysis of the relationship between religious literature and self-formation in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. This volume not only enriches the understanding of early-Christian and medieval cultures but also invites readers to consider the ongoing significance of scriptural interpretation in shaping religious identity and thought.
