A Christoscopic Reading of Scripture: Johannes Oecolampadius on Hebrews

More about the book

The study delves into Oecolampadius's 1534 commentary on Hebrews, originating from his theology lectures at the University of Basel. Jeff Fisher analyzes Oecolampadius's exegesis alongside over twenty-five significant interpreters from early church history to the Reformation. He highlights how Oecolampadius's Christoscopic interpretation, influenced by Alexandrian thought, played a crucial role in the evolution toward Reformed interpretative methods, paving the way for later figures like John Calvin.
