Medieval Exegesis: The Four Senses of Scripture - Retrieval & Renewal Ressourcement in Catholic Thought

Originally published in French as Ex?g?se m?di?vale, Henri de Lubac’s monumental, multivolume study of medieval exegesis and theology has remained one of the most significant works of modern biblical studies.
