Hardback. Zustand: Good. This book offers the first comprehensive examination and analysis of the receipt, transmission, and interpretation of the Old Testament in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. In Orthodoxy, the Old Testament has commonly been equated with the Septuagint, the Greek version of the Jewish Bible attested by fourth- and fifth-century Christian manuscripts. As Eugen Pentiuc shows throughout this work, however, the Eastern Orthodox Church has never closed the door to other text - witnesses or suppressed interpreters' efforts to dig into the less familiar text of the Hebrew Bible for key terms or reading variants. The first part of the book examines the reception of the Old Testament by the early Eastern Orthodox Church, considering such matters as the nature of divine revelation, the paradox of the inclusion of the Jewish scriptures in the Christian Bible, and the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. Pentiuc's investigation is not limited to the historic-literary sources but extends to the visual, imaginative, and symbolic aspects of the Church's living tradition. In the second part of the book he looks at the various ways Orthodox Christians have sought to assimilate the Old Testament in the spiritual, liturgical, and doctrinal fabric of their faith community. Special attention is given to liturgy (hymnody, lectionaries, and liturgical symbolism), iconography (frescoes, icons, illuminations), monastic rules and canons, conciliar resolutions, and patristic works in Greek, Syriac and Coptic. This wide-ranging and accessible work will serve not only to make Orthodox Christians aware of the importance of the Old Testament in their own tradition, but to introduce those who are not Orthodox both to the distinctive ways in which that community approaches scripture and to the modes of spiritual practice characteristic of Eastern Orthodoxy.…

Paper Back. Zustand: New. By his own admission, Eugen Pentiuc has shifted 'away from conventional paradigms to develop a new way of understanding the presence of Christ in the Old Testament.' He calls his approach 'ontological,' basing it on the view that Jesus the Messiah appears throughout the Hebrew Bible prior to his human incarnation in the New Testament. An Orthodox priest and professor of religious studies at Hellenic College and Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts, Father Pentiuc offers an exegesis of the Messiah's presence in salvation history as well as a new translation of the Septuagint passages he discusses, grounding the reader in a deeper understanding of the imagery and intent of the original text while avoiding a clutter of technical analysis. Applying exegetical criteria used by early Christian writers-including proof texts (passages of Messianic prophesy), typology (figures, events and institutions that foreshadow Christ), and theophanies (Old Testament appearances of the pre-incarnate Son of God)-Pentiuc works outside normative strains of modern biblical interpretation, eschewing (as one reviewer put it) 'historical-critical understanding' in favor of a more imaginative approach. This is not to say he abandons scholarship. His end-of-chapter notes are thorough and extensive. Yet Father Pentiuc's most significant contribution may be his exposition of Christ's presence throughout history, 'showing us his mercy.and joining us in the flow and ebb of our experiences as humanity.' 188 pp.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Throughout the ages, interpreters of the Christian scriptures have been wonderfully creative in seeking to understand and bring out the wonders of these ancient writings. That creativity has often been overlooked by recent scholarship, concentrated as it is in the so-called critical period. In this study, Eugen J. Pentiuc illuminates the remarkable way in which the Byzantine hymnographers (liturgists) expressed their understanding of the Old Testament in their compositions, an interpretive process that he terms "liturgical exegesis."In authorship and methodology, patristic exegesis and liturgical exegesis are closely related. Patristic exegesis, however, is primarily linear and sequential, proceeding verse by verse, while liturgical exegesis offers a more imaginative and eclectic mode of interpretation, ranging over various parts of the Bible. In this respect, says Pentiuc, liturgical exegesis resembles cubist art. To illuminate the multi-faceted creativity of liturgical exegesis, Pentiuc has chosen the vast and rich hymnography of Byzantine Orthodox Holy Week as a case study, offering a detailed lexical, biblical, and theological analysis of selected hymns. His analysis reveals the many different and imaginative ways in which creative liturgists incorporated and interpreted scriptural material in these hymns.By drawing attention to the way in which the bible is used by Byzantine hymnographers in the living Orthodox tradition, Hearing the Scriptures makes a ground-breaking contribution to the history of the reception of the scriptures.…
