Cardinal Hugh of St. Cher’s Commentary on Jesus’ Parable of Dives and Lazarus (Luke 16:19–31)

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Composed in the vibrant spiritual and cultural context of the Dominican convent of Paris, the Postilla circulating under the name of Hugh of St. Cher is one of the most surprising and influential medieval commentaries to the Bible. By translating and analyzing its interpretation of the story of Lazarus and the rich man, Karris offers an excellent entry point into this rich world, ideal for anyone interested in the thirteenth-century pastoral revolution and in the reception history of the Bible.”
