Biblical Exegesis and the Formation of Christian Culture
Young, Frances M. (University of Birmingham)
This book challenges standard accounts of early Christian exegesis of the Bible by placing its interpretation in the context of the Graeco-Roman world. It describes how the Jewish scriptures were taken over, added to and reinterpreted as part of the process of forming the identity of the new Christian 'race' with its distinct culture.
