Scripture and Pluralism: Reading the Bible in the Religiously Plural Worlds of the Middle Ages and Renaissance de Thomas Heffernan

Scripture and Pluralism: Reading the Bible in the Religiously Plural Worlds of the Middle Ages and Renaissance: Studies in the History of Christian Traditions, cartea 123

Thomas Heffernan, Thomas E. Burman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 sep 2005
The Mediterranean and Western-European sphere in the Ancient, Medieval and Early-Modern Periods was a world of complex and deeply rooted religious Pluralism – Jews, various sects of Christians, Muslims, and pagans all lived side by side and interacted regularly. The essays in this volume explore what happened when Christians read the Bible faced with the challenges posed by this religious pluralism. Topics covered include early Christianity’s use of the Bible under persecution, Arab-Christian Biblical study within the Islamic World, Jewish-Christian scholarly interaction in the Twelfth-Century Renaissance, and the role of late-medieval vernacular editions of the Bible in paving the way for the Reformation.

Contributors include: Thomas E. Burman, Andrew Gow, Sidney H. Griffith, Thomas J. Heffernan, Frans van Liere, E. Ann Matter, Bernard McGinn, Constant J. Mews, Michael A. Signer, Lesley Smith, and Anne Marie Wolf.

Recenzii

Apocalypticism was connected with revolutionary movements only in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period, their rise not sufficiently explained until now.

To the extent that it is not only (…) apocalyptic apologies for violence which are on the rise, but more general religious apologies for (religion-based) conflicts, his appeal to attempt to "better understand" may well be extended more generally to the exchanges between religions. This volume contributes to such a better understanding.
