Taking a radical new approach to second-century theology, 'Ancient
Apologetic Exegesis' examines the work of Saint Theophilus of
Antioch, with a full understanding of the man and his times. The
second century is often dismissed by theologians, despite a
near-living memory of Jesus and his apostles from only a generation
or two prior, but Stuart E. Parsons shows that a distinctive
biblical exegesis was used by those second-century apologists who
challenged Greco-Roman pagan religionists. Current literature
misunderstands second-century exegetical approaches, but by looking
behind anachronistic views of ancient genre, literacy, and
rhetoric, we can rediscover a forgotten form of early Christian
exegesis.
