| Abstract | New ways of understanding Christianity from the 13th century onwards involved a characteristic awareness of non-Christian traditions. This session focuses on Jewish sources: the recovery of old traditions such as the Hebrew Bible and the discovery of Jewish philosophiy and exegetics. It maps the development of attitudes towards these sources in scholastic writings both in the works of the authors themselves and in the general theological debate. |
