However, scholars and  academics are by no means united in the question how these important but  difficult authors should be read and interpreted. Many of them are  divided by implicit (but often unquestioned) assumptions about the best  way to approach the texts or by underlying hermeneutical questions about  the norms, limits and opportunities of reading Ancient Christian  writers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will raise profound hermeneutical questions  surrounding the reading of the Fathers with greater clarity than it has  been done before. The contributors to this volume are theologians and  historians who have used contemporary post-modern approaches to  illuminate the Ancien corpus of texts. The chapters discuss issues such  as What makes a 'good' reading of a church Father? What constitutes a  'responsible' reading? Is the reading of the Fathers limited to a  specialist audience? What can modern thinkers contribute to our reading  of the Fathers?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMorwenna Ludlow \u003c\/b\u003eis Lecturer in Patristics at the University of Exetery, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScot Douglass\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in the Herbst Program of Humanities for Engineers at University of Colorado, Boulder, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 June 2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eT\u0026amp;T Clark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780567538031\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.44\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51331813245068,"sku":"9780567538031","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780567538031","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
