TL;DR: The problem of the failure of the eschatological exegesis of the Lord's Prayer, as proposed by E. E. GOULDER as mentioned in this paper, became evident not merely from the fact that these interpreters had to make use of extremely intricate reasoning and research to uphold this explanation.
Abstract: Prayer the article of M. D. GOULDER 1) plays a role of importance. It is fascinating to become acquainted with an interpretation, which has tried to take into account the long history that the text of the Lord's Prayer has undergone before it was inserted in the gospels of Matt. and Luke. The failure of the eschatological exegesis of the Lord's Prayer, as proposed by E. LOHMEYER 2), J.JEREMIAS 3), and R. E. BROWN 4), became evident not merely from the fact that these interpreters had to make use of extremely intricate reasoning and research to uphold this explanation. Several authors 5) had remained unconvinced by their arguments and rejected an eschatological interpretation for one or the other verse, or for several invocations 6). The problem was dealt with in an even more fundamental way by E.GRASSER7) who showed that the text of the Lord's Prayer, as we find it presently in the gospels, appears to have been developed at a time in which the delay of the Parousia was no longer a problem. If this is accepted the obstacles are remov-

TL;DR: This article examined how Erasmus of Rotterdam, the greatest Renaissance editor of Jerome, read the Church Father's most elaborate polemic in favor of virginity's moral and spiritual superiority to marriage, the "Adversus Jovinianum."
Abstract: Scholars are now devoting more attention to the reception of the Church Fathers during the Renaissance and Reformation. While Saint Jerome's function as icon and exemplar has been the subject of substantial study, his role as an author, read and edited during the Renaissance, still awaits thorough investigation. This essay examines how Erasmus of Rotterdam, the greatest Renaissance editor of Jerome, read the Church Father's most elaborate polemic in favor of virginity's moral and spiritual superiority to marriage, the "Adversus Jovinianum." An investigation of Erasmus' editorial apparatus for this text, especially his "scholia", reveals a complex reading. Erasmus applauded Jerome's rhetorical skill but ventured cautious criticism of his scriptural exegesis without taking a firm position in the controversy over the relative merits of virginity and marriage.

TL;DR: This article explored the mental operations involved in different hermeneutic methods, with special attention given to differentiating between allegory and symbolism, and examined the development in later ages of these methods.
Abstract: This article explores the methods that ancient philosophers and historians devised for the interpretation of Greek myths and examines their development in later ages. With few exceptions, poets were regarded as the authors of myths, with the result that much ancient myth exegesis was directed to authorial intention. Claims that the poets were liars were met with the defence that they wrote allegorically. Interpretation tended to be closely related to the doctrines of the philosophical schools; indeed, it was the authority of the schools that was responsible for spreading ancient methods of interpreting pagan texts to Christian interpretations of the Bible. The article examines the mental operations involved in different hermeneutic methods, with special attention given to differentiating between allegory and symbolism.
