This title is a unique collection of essays surrounding modern
hermeneutic approaches to early Christian theological texts.
Reading the corpus of texts written by the Fathers of the Church
has always been a core area in Christian theology. However,
scholars and academics are by no means united in the question how
these important but difficult authors should be read and
interpreted. Many of them are divided by implicit (but often
unquestioned) assumptions about the best way to approach the texts
or by underlying hermeneutical questions about the norms, limits
and opportunities of reading Ancient Christian writers. This book
will raise profound hermeneutical questions surrounding the reading
of the Fathers with greater clarity than it has been done before.
The contributors to this volume are theologians and historians who
have used contemporary post-modern approaches to illuminate the
Ancien corpus of texts. The chapters discuss issues such as: What
makes a 'good' reading of a church Father?; What constitutes a
'responsible' reading?; Is the reading of the Fathers limited to a
specialist audience?; and, What can modern thinkers contribute to
our reading of the Fathers?
