He shows how the need to preserve the power of the past, whether in scriptural precedent or apostolic memory, while also developing a contemporary vision characterized by eschatological urgency, led to a profound and creative process of appropriation whose effects are still felt today. Written for scholars interested in biblical interpretation, intertextuality, and history of reception, \u003ci\u003eThe Commentarial Impulse \u003c\/i\u003eis an engaging collection that brings together the best of David Lincicum’s insights into these subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Lincicum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56489688858966,"sku":"9780802884206","price":187.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/3206\/6390\/files\/9780802884206.jpg?v=1793913521","url":"https:\/\/www.englishbook.pl\/products\/the-commentarial-impulse-9780802884206","provider":"Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
