Sinopsis

Praise Seeking Understandingásits at the intersection of three important fields in theology: theological exegesis, Augustinian studies, and contemporary church practice. Jason Byassee deftly brings the three together, revealing an important symbiotic relationship between them -- a relationship hitherto largely ignored. Though current exegetical methods have swung away from a Christological reading of the Old Testament -- rejecting in particular Augustine',s treatment of the text -- Byassee believes that is a mistake we must remedy. Using a recent translation of Augustine',sáEnarrationes in Psalmos, Byassee describes in depth Augustine',s psalm hermeneutic and his approach to scripture generally, offering a defense of these views in conversation with recent work in theological exegesis.
