| Abstract | The focus of the second session is Carolingian exegesis, showing again exegesis as a mode of thinking in the broadest sense of the word. Far from being a simple repetition of patristic sources, biblical exegesis was one of the main theatres where theological and spiritual issues and developments were reflected and articulated, absorbing and reworking older, e.g. Augustinian, sources. Contemporary philosophical concerns were also elaborated within an exegetical mode, and exegesis was a field where the issues of general cultural and political importance were raised and confronted. |
