Originally published in French as Exégèse médiévale,Henri de Lubac’s monumental, multivolume study of medieval exegesis and theology has remained one of the most significant works of modern biblical studies. Examining the prominent commentators of the Middle Ages and their texts, de Lubac elucidates the medieval approach to biblical interpretation that sought “the four senses†of Scripture, especially the dominant practice of attempting to uncover Scripture’s allegorical meaning.
