Interpreting Scripture With The Great Tradition by Craig A. Carter
Recovering the Genius of Premodern Exegesis
This book argues for retrieving and reengaging the historic church’s interpretive resources—the “Great Tradition”—as a corrective and guide for contemporary biblical interpretation, showing how patristic, medieval, Reformation, and later practices can be brought into constructive conversation with modern historical-critical methods; it emphasizes that theology, ecclesial context, doctrinal commitments, and spiritual-sensory readings (such as typology and allegory) shape meaning, and offers principles and examples for reading Scripture faithfully within the life and creeds of the church rather than in isolation.
