Introducing Medieval Biblical Interpretation: The Senses of Scripture in Premodern Exegesis
This introductory guide, written by a leading expert in medieval theology
and church history, offers a thorough overview of medieval biblical interpretation.

Rich in primary text engagement and comprehensive in scope, it is the only current, compact introduction to the whole range of medieval exegesis.
