Description
Summary:‘Mind, Context, and Commentary’ might have been a better title for this thoughtful and creative investigation of the socio-cultural assumptions and practices that informed the figural interpretative approaches of Origen of Alexandria, Didymus the Blind, and Evagrius Ponticus. Blossom Stefaniw presents a study ‘engaged not in relating the commentary to the text it proposes to interpret, but rather relating the commentary to the interpretive community which generated the interpretation in question’ (p. 377).
