Seventeen respected colleagues and former students of David C.
Steinmetz have contributed to this important collection of essays
produced in honor of Steinmetz's sixtieth birthday. The burden of the
present volume is to examine the sources and resources and to
illustrate the continuities and discontinuities in the exegetical
tradition leading into and through the Reformation. Specifically, this
collection of essays proposes to highlight the historical context of
Reformation exegesis and to describe how a truly contextual
understanding signals a highly illuminating turn in Reformation
studies. The three essays included in Part 1 offer background
perspectives on Reformation-era exegesis. Richard A. Muller provides
background on biblical interpretation in the Reformation from the
perspective of the Middle Ages. Karlfried Froelich examines the
fourfold exegetical method presented on the eve of the Reformation by
Johannes Trithemius. John B. Payne offers a view of Erasmus's
exegetical method in its relation to the approaches of Zwingli and
Bullinger. The five essays included in Part 2 explore exegesis and
interpretation in the early Reformation. Kenneth Hagen examines
Luther's many approaches to the text of Psalm 116. Carl M. Leth
discusses Balthasar Hubmaier's ""Catholic"" exegesis of the power of
the keys in Matthew 16:18-19. Timothy J. Wengert takes on the issue of
method, specifically the impact of humanist rhetoric on the exegetical
method of Philip Melanchthon. Irena Backus examines Martin Bucer's
efforts to make sense of the difficult chronology of John 5-7 in the
light of his dialogue with the exegetical tradition. W.P. Stephens
addresses Zwingli's understanding of John 6:63, a text crucial to
Zwingli's eucharistic debate with Luther. The seven essays included in
Part 3 examine continuity and change in mid-sixteenth-century biblical
interpretation. Susan E Schreiner probes Calvin's relation to the
sixteenth-century debate regarding the grounds of certainty. Craig S.
Farmer examines the exegesis of Bern theologian Wolfgang Musculus
against the background of a catena of medieval readings of John 8. Joel
E. Kok discusses the question of Bullinger's status as an exegete in
relation to Calvin, with a special focus on the exegesis of Romans.
John L. Thompson considers the survival of allegorical argumentation in
Peter Martyr Vermigli's Old Testament exegesis. Lyle D. Bierma shows a
clear relationship between Zacharias Ursinus's exposition of Exodus
20:8-11 and aspects of interpretations offered by Calvin, Vermigli,
Bullinger, and Melanchthon. John L Farthing offers a fresh study of
Girolamo Zanchi's interpretation of Gomer's harlotry in Hosea 1-3.
Robert Kolb considers the doctrine of Christ in Nikolaus Selnecker's
interpretation of Psalms 8, 22, and 110. Following a concluding essay
by the editors on the significance of precritical exegesis, the final
section of the volume, prepared by Micken L. Mattox, presents an
up-to-date bibliography of the writings of David C. Steinmetz.
