'... these works adapted scholastic exegesis to meet the devotional needs of English readers ... Recommended.' D. A. Brown, Choice 'This is a highly rewarding book. Kraebel deals with a complex subject with the utmost clarity and competence. He has added important insights and conclusions of his own which enrich our understanding of a field far broader and more interesting than the reformers would admit.' Alastair Hamilton, Journal of Ecclesiastical History '... Kraebel excavates the wider field of scholastic biblical exegesis in fourteenth-century England ... Kraebel is to be commended for having reclaimed so much of later medieval England's biblical commentary from obscurity as well as for having analyzed these texts and their manuscripts so closely and carefully.' Audrey Southgate, Journal of Medieval Religious Cultures 'Kraebel's admirable study does much to help, and to show how those implications might be not reductive, but rather stimulating and fruitful. Potential readers should take the plunge: the rewards justify the effort.' Daniel Sawyer, Studies in the Age of Chaucer
