Description:What is history and how does it impact biblical interpretation and theology? Allegorizing History seeks to answer this question by arguing that conceptions of the past and the purposes of history impact biblical interpretation and vice versa. Invoking Constantin Fasolt's notion of history as 'a knowledge of the past, as well as the technique by which such knowledge is produced', and re-fashioning Erich Auerbach's historical enterprise in Figura (1938), Furry contends that the understanding and practice of historical writing is inevitably affected by philosophy and theology, thereby rendering all history as figural or allegorical. Famous for his Ecclesiastical History of the Anglo-Saxon People and biblical commentaries, the Venerable Bede is studied in dialogue with Augustine, contemporary theology and historical theory to make this interdisciplinary argument.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
