In Reading Matthew with Monks, Derek Olsen seeks to evaluate
whether early medieval monastic biblical interpreters can serve as
effective conversation partners for modern readers who are
committed to broadening their reading of Scripture. Olsen puts the
interpretations of four modern Scripture commentaries in
conversation with AElfric of Eynsham's medieval monastic
interpretations of four texts from the Gospel of Matthew. In so
doing, he clarifies early medieval interpretive contexts and
assesses their usefulness in modern scholarship. As outsiders in
modern critical debates, AElfric and his sources may provide
alternative approaches or perspectives that open interpretive
possibilities where modern interpreters are locked in disagreement.
Early medieval monastic interpreters can serve as excellent guides
for understanding the potential for moral, spiritual, or formative
meanings of a biblical text. They can help modern readers who are
attempting to conform their lives to the biblical text.
