SCRIPTURE IN TRADITION : THE BIBLE AND ITS INTERPRETATION IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH

JOHN BRECK

The Bible was born and shaped in a community of faith. They understood Scripture to be an essential element of Holy Tradition: the apostolic witness passed down and developed into what would become the body of Orthodox doctrine. It begins with a discussion of the aims and methods of biblical interpretation as they were developed among the Greek Fathers. The second section introduces the reader to the ancient literary form known as chiasmus and emphasizes the importance of a proper chiastic reading to reveal the literal meaning of the text.
