Description:

This volume represents the first trilateral exploration of medieval scriptural interpretation. During the medieval period the three exegetical traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam produced a vast literature, one of great diversity but also one of numerous cross-cultural similarities.

Synopsis:

"This volume would serve as a wonderful course book for undergraduates and graduates, one that illustrates both the signal differences and the surprising parallels within and among the three Abrahamic traditions of scriptural exegesis."-Speculum "Indispensable ...deserves an honored place on the shelves of public and private research libraries everywhere."-Catholic Biblical Quarterly "A rich feast ...the three 'courses' of the book offer significant contributions to our understanding of exegesis in each specific tradition."-Journal of the American Academy of Religion "With Reverence for the Word is both a readable and informative collection of essays important to the study of medieval scriptural exegesis." -Journal of Near Eastern Studies
