Reading Scripture With The Church Fathers by Christopher Hall

A concise guide to how early Christian theologians approached and interpreted the Bible, surveying the major patristic methods (literal, typological, allegorical) and illustrating them with representative readings from a range of Fathers; it explains the historical and theological contexts that shaped their exegesis, shows how patristic interpretation seeks to unify Scripture around Christ and the church, and offers practical suggestions for bringing these ancient insights to bear on contemporary reading and theological reflection.
