Description: Jerome's Commentaries on the Pauline Epistles and the Architecture of Exegetical Authority, Hardcover by Cain, Andrew, ISBN 0192847198, ISBN-13 9780192847195, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In the late fourth and early fifth centuries, during a fifty-year stretch sometimes dubbed a Pauline "renaissance" of the western church, six different authors produced over four dozen commentaries in Latin on Pauls epistles. Among them was Jerome, who commented on four epistles (Galatians,
Ephesians, Titus, Philemon) in 386 after recently having relocated to Bethlehem from Rome. His commentaries occupy a time-honored place in the centuries-long tradition of Latin-language commenting on Pauls writings. They also constitute his first foray into the systematic exposition of whole
biblical books (and his only experiment with Pauline interpretation on this scale), and so they provide precious insight into his intellectual development at a critical stage of his early career before he would go on to become the most prolific biblical scholar of Late Antiquity.

This monograph provides the first book-length treatment of Jeromes opus Paulinum in any language. Adopting a cross-disciplinary approach, Cain comprehensively analyzes the commentaries most salient aspects-from the inner workings of Jeromes philological method and engagement with his Greek
exegetical sources, to his recruitment of Paul as an anachronistic surrogate for his own theological and ascetic special interests. One of the over-arching concerns of this book is to explore and to answer, from multiple vantage points, a question that was absolutely fundamental to Jerome in his
fourth-century context: what are the sophisticated mechanisms by which he legitimized himself as a Pauline commentator, not only on his own terms but also vis--vis contemporary western commentators?
