Summary
This chapter explores the ways in which the relationship between contemporary exegesis and the history of interpretation has been changing, to admit greater influence from premodern practice than was often allowed during modern times. Premodern interpretation is considered with examples from Augustine and Hugh of St, Victor, and then contemporary examples of reading the parable of the Good Samaritan and Psalm 137 are discussed to sample the issues.
