| Abstract | This second session on biblical exegesis will look specifically at how the gospel Infancy Narratives were employed by important medieval thinkers, including Bonaventure and Nicholas of Cusa, to discuss major aspects of Christian theology. This trend continued even in the New World, as Catholic thinkers used these gospel narratives to not only teach christian doctrine, but even to explicate the religious beliefs of medieval American peoples such as the Inka. |
