Scripture as Real Presence: Sacramental Exegesis in the Early Church
Hans BoersmaHardback 2017-03-14
Publisher Description
:This work argues that the heart of patristic exegesis is the attempt to find the sacramental reality (real presence) of Christ in the Old Testament Scriptures. Leading theologian Hans Boersma discusses numerous sermons and commentaries of the church fathers to show how they regarded Christ as the treasure hidden in the field of the Old Testament and explains that the church can and should retrieve the sacramental reading of the early church today. Combining detailed scholarly insight with clear, compelling prose, this book makes a unique contribution to contemporary interest in theological interpretation.
