Alan J. Hauser and Duane F. Watson have assembled an impressive list of contributors for this discussion of biblical interpretation in the medieval and Reformation periods. The scope of the project is certainly expansive, stretching from late antiquity to the beginning of the nineteenth century. This collection includes two chapters on Jewish interpretation in late antiquity and the medieval period, and that of the Eastern Orthodox from the Byzantine period to modernity. These chapters are followed by others on the text of the Tanakh and the New Testament, and then a series of individual chapters on biblical interpretation in Luther, Melanchthon and Calvin; in medieval and Reformation England; and among Anabaptists and Catholics. A final chapter discusses vernacular Scripture in the period before 1800. It is certainly ambitious for a text like this to cover a thousand years (and more) of reading practice across such a diverse range of communities, cultures and contexts. And it is perhaps not clear why Melanchthon should be provided with such detailed consideration in a volume in which space is clearly at a premium. Nevertheless, many of the chapters approach their subjects with persuasive power, and provide conclusions which are nuanced and convincing. This important volume will become a standard reference work, and that status will be justified by the quality of so many of its contributions.
