Staff of Catholic Theological College (CTC), as well as students and researchers, are invited to attend this online seminar, to be presented by Rev Dr Kris Sonek OP, Senior Lecturer and Head of the Department of Biblical Studies at Catholic Theological College.
Modern exegetes value patristic and rabbinic exegesis for understanding biblical interpretation. However, they often perceive these approaches as fundamentally different in method and intent from their own. Some scholars find these ancient approaches puzzling and arbitrary, and have valid reasons for this perspective. In this presentation, Rev Dr Sonek will explain and illustrate the distinctive characteristics of ancient and modern exegetical modes, and discuss ways to incorporate ancient modes into modern exegetical practice. The presentation will be structured as a series of questions and answers.
