Kurzbeschreibung In Scriptural Interpretation, Sarisky brilliantly draws together Patristic Theology and a theological interpretation of Scripture in the modern day, to examine Scripture's central place in the life of the Church and ordinary believers. Covering an impressive historical range, from Basil of Caesarea right up to the work of the major contemporary thinkers, Stanley Hauerwas and Rowan Williams, Sarisky offers a sophisticated understanding of many Patristic thinkers - an area of huge current interest in the field - and challenges accepted readings of the theology of Basil of Caesarea.
