Kevin Madigan

Description

A study of the exegesis and reception of the Gospel of Luke in history, stressing the interpretation of the Gospel in the period ca. 200-1600. After studying Luke in its original context, the seminar will turn to commentaries, sermons and artistic representations of all or parts of the Gospel, as well as to hermeneutical theory from the ancient world. Texts to be studied may include Tertullian, Origen, Cyril of Alexandria, Cassian, Gregory the Great, Bede, Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, the Ordinary Gloss, Nicholas of Lyra, Luther, Erasmus and Calvin. One major research language (Latin, Greek, or Syriac) would be helpful, but is not required.
