About this product
Product Information
The Liber Regularum , written by Tyconius in the Fourth Century A.D., was the first system of biblical interpretation proposed by a Latin theologian. Augustine was very interested in this work and included an extraordinary summation of it in his De doctrina christiana . Although this treatment insured the preservation of the work and its lasting fame, Augustine's summary became better known than the original. Pamela Bright's The Book of Rules of Tyconius: Its Purpose and Inner Logic reintroduces this neglected classic of early church literature. Bright asserts that although Augustine was greatly influenced by the Liber Regularum , his philosophical differences caused him to misunderstand its meaning. Bright reexamines the meaning of "prophecy" and "rule" from Tyconius's perspective and reveals that the purpose of the book was not to provide a general guide to scriptural interpretation, but rather a way to interpret apocalyptic texts. She cites Tyconius's intense concern with evil in the church as the genesis of his interest in the apocalypse and subsequently the meaning of the scripture concerning it. Tyconius speaks of the "seven mystical rules" of scripture that with the grace of the Holy Spirit reveal the true meaning of prophecy. If an interpreter follows the "logic" of these rules, the nature of the church as composed by both good and evil membership is revealed. Bright argues that Tyconius was not illogical or incompetent in the work's composition as many critics have claimed but rather that he organized his material in a concentric pattern so that Rule Four, the center of the seven rules, is also the central development of his theory. Of interest to theologians, students of biblical interpretation and of Augustine, The Book of Rules of Tyconius focuses attention upon a work that had great influence on the understanding of the nature of the church, on interpreting scripture, and its meaning for the Church of its day.

Reviews
"[Bright] . . . puts Tyconius in the context of his own time and carefully describes his seven rules of scriptural interpretation, clearly analyzing and affirming their unity. . . . Though at times painstaking to read . . . the effort is rewarding as it discloses Tyconius's intention to give the sincere reader an understanding of the obscurities in what he calls the 'immense forest of prophecy.' Bright lets Tyconius be Tyconius, a man clearly intent on orienting his biblical hermeneutics to his pastoral situation. His exegetical method is not the method of our times, which is the result of nineteen hundred years of exploring and explaining the scriptures. But his overall conviction that the scriptures derive from the Holy Spirit has a relevance for all seasons, maybe particularly today when biblical criticism has been coming under attack for its seeming lack of spiritual nourishment." -- Patristics, "While lamenting the fact that the world knows the Liber regularum Tyconii primarily through Augustine's biased comments in De doctrina christiana and other interpreters, Bright attempts to set the record straight by allowing Tyconius to stand on his own. Even though generations of scholars have considered the Book of Rules confusing and disordered, Bright advances and successfully defends the novel hypothesis that Tyconius's Book of Rules does have an organization and plan, which manifests an inherent logic and order." -- The Catholic Historical Review, "Brett has crafted a meticulously researched study which he effectively situates within three streams of scholarly discourse: United States foreign mission history, African American Catholic history, and the history of women religious. Utilizing previously ignored archival documents as well as a substantial body of personal correspondence and interviews conducted with a broad, balanced spectrum of informants, he has produced a lucid study of an African American sisterhood's evolving concept of mission during a century of service. The racial component of his work makes it especially compelling in that he analyzes in nuanced fashion how the common African descent of both the missionaries and their target population simultaneously facilitated and complicated their interactions. Scholarly works examining African American women religious remain exceedingly rare. This book adds to this worthwhile but extremely underserved area a unique focus on their missionary activities." --Diane Batts Morrow, University of Georgia, Brett has crafted a meticulously researched study which he effectively situates within three streams of scholarly discourse: United States foreign mission history, African American Catholic history, and the history of women religious. Utilizing previously ignored archival documents as well as a substantial body of personal correspondence and interviews conducted with a broad, balanced spectrum of informants, he has produced a lucid study of an African American sisterhood's evolving concept of mission during a century of service.

Scholarly works examining African American women religious remain exceedingly rare. This book adds to this worthwhile but extremely underserved area a unique focus on their missionary activities., "Bright displays the chiastic structure of the Rules as the clue to deciphering [Tyconius's] interpretative theory. Here she is most convincing. She interprets the Rules as an extended typological interpretation of the Bible revealing the 'mystery of inquiry' at work in the church and calling sinners to repentence. . . . Bright's work is most valuable. . . . [It] is an enticing invitation to the reading of Tyconius for his own sake." -- Journal of Religion

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

My sincere apologies, the item was not what I expected, (to NO FAULT of the SELLER at all.) It came in good condition however, I must’ve of misunderstood the description, I thought the names would be transliterated into English, but it's in Hebrew. I thought it would give the Hebrew meaning to the name/ places. Also I noticed that the dust jacket was different than the advertised photo. If I may, I'd like to request a refund please and continue my search... Kind regards.
