Pillars In The History Of Biblical Interpretation Volume 3 written by Stanley E. Porter and has been published by Wipf and Stock Publishers this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-06-07 with Religion categories.
This third volume, like its predecessors, adds to the growing body of literature concerned with the history of biblical interpretation. With eighteen essays on nineteen biblical interpreters, volume 3 expands the scope of scholars, both traditional and modern, covered in this now multivolume series. Each chapter provides a biographical sketch of its respective scholar(s), an overview of their major contributions to the field, explanations of their theoretical and methodological approaches to interpretation, and evaluations and applications of their methods. By focusing on the contexts in which these scholars lived and worked, these essays show what defining features qualify these scholars as "pillars" in the history of biblical interpretation. While identifying a scholar as a "pillar" is somewhat subjective, this volume defines a pillar as one who has made a distinctive contribution by using and exemplifying a clear method that has pushed the discipline forward, at least within a given context and time period. This volume is ideal for any class on the history of biblical interpretation and for those who want a greater understanding of how the field of biblical studies has developed and how certain interpreters have played a formative role in that development.

For linguistics, Ferdinand de Saussure is the defining figure of its modern period. For semiotics too he is the founding figure within Europe, alongside Peirce in America. Yet Saussure's influence reaches far beyond linguistics and semiotics, through the structuralism which his teaching inspired in the decades following his death, and even the post-structuralism which followed it. With chapters written by leading scholars from across the world, this detailed and comprehensive volume charts the significance of Saussure's work across the wide range of fields in which it had an impact, providing a thorough understanding, and the definitive guide to, his ideas and legacy. Divided into four parts, the book first explores Saussure's life and career, including his published and unpublished work. Part Two is devoted to the Course in General Linguistics, which is dissected across five chapters to offer a highly detailed account of the most important book within modern linguistics. Part Three traces the Course and its leading ideas across the ensuing decades, as Saussure became the acknowledged founding figure not just of modern linguistics and semiotics, but of a structuralism which was not limited by academic field. Lastly, Part Four highlights key themes and topics for close attention, offering an even greater depth of insight into the life, work and reception of Saussure.

In Ideas on Language in Early Latin Christianity, Tim Denecker investigates, in a comprehensive and systematic way, the views held on the history, diversity and properties of language(s) by Christian Latin authors from Tertullian (b. c.160) to Isidore of Seville (d. 636). This historical period witnessed various sociocultural changes, affecting linguistic situations and the ways in which these were perceived. Christian intellectuals were confronted with languages other than Latin in the context of the propagation of faith, and in reflecting on language were bound to comply with the relevant biblical accounts. Whereas previous research has mostly focused on the (indeed vital) contribution of Augustine, the present study reveals the diversified and dynamic nature of linguistic reflection in early Latin Christianity.
