| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to situate Eckhart's exegetical approach to Scripture in the wider context of medieval biblical interpretation, especially with reference to his vernacular sermons that belong more to the Dominican preaching tradition than to the more systematic biblical commentary tradition. Through an exploration of the contemplative approaches of Hugh of St Victor and St Bernard of Clairvaux to biblical exegesis, links will be suggested with Eckhart's approach, suggesting it has roots in the allegorical tradition reaching back to the early Church Fathers. |
