Scholarship and Reading Scripture
Posted on Thursday, July 19, 2007 at 5:47 AM by Jason Barker
Kevin Edgecomb has written an interesting article on scholarship and reading Scripture. He writes:
Our Tradition in Eastern Orthodoxy is full to bursting with that ancient type-antitype allegorical exegesis. This method is rich and deep, and has thrived for centuries longer than any critical methods of study, creating an environment which produced not only amazing works of art, literature, hymnody, and philosophy, but especially the people who created them, whose lives were transformed by immersion into that environment, that worldview, to such an extent that they were, by God’s grace, rendered into Saints, continuing the cycle by continuing to pass on the Tradition.
I recommend the entire article.
