What is Letter & Spirit, Vol. 7: The Bible and the Church Fathers: The Liturgical Context of Patristic Exegesis about?

Letter & Spirit Vol. 7: The Bible and the Church Fathers: The Liturgical Context of Patristic Exegesis makes accessible to clergy, students, and laity the finest Catholic biblical scholarship. This volume responds to the call of Pope Benedict XVI in his Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Domini for a thoughtful return to the Fathers of the Church and how they approached Sacred Scripture. This is not in any way to jettison historical-critical methods and the valuable insights that modern biblical scholarship has brought to light. It is simply to acknowledge what Pope Benedict calls for, a measured return to the interpretive methods employed by the Church Fathers as well as the theology that flowed from their exegetical labors. As he said, “The Church Fathers present a theology that still has great value today because at its heart is the study of sacred Scripture as a whole. Indeed, the Fathers are primarily and essentially commentators on sacred Scripture.” This volume includes: “Cures of the Soul and Correction of Heart: Pope Leo the Great on the Healing Power of Holy Week” by J. Mark Armitage “Patristic Interpretation of Scripture within God's Story of Creation and Redemption” by Willia
