the underlying meaning. This underlying meaning was discovered only through allegorical exegesis which, according to Harry A. Wolfson, means “the interpretation of a text in terms of something else, irrespective of what that something else is.” Although allegorical exegesis was widespread among the Jews of the first century, it was not dominant in Palestine. There seems little evidence of allegorical exegesis in the New Testament and none to support such usage by Jesus. The Beginnings of Allegorical

Ninth-century churchmen sought the meaning of sacred history in exegesis, and Maiolus of Cluny was a product of that tradition. In order to understand a biblical book, in order to understand God’s will, even as early as the tenth century, one had to first consult the Carolingian masters on that subject, who would help
goodness God speaks to them in human words: "Indeed the words of God, expressed in the words of men, are in every way like human language, just as the Word of the eternal Father, when he took on himself the flesh of human weakness, became like men."63 102 Through all the words of Sacred Scripture, God speaks only one single Word, his one Utterance in whom he expresses himself completely:64 You recall that one and the same Word of God extends throughout Scripture, that it is one and the same Utterance
Leviticus Rabba, The Talmud Yerushalmi, The Bavli. In the 14th Cent. in Spain there are still legends of her extant in oral form, not yet collected in writing – such as the one written down first by R’ Nissim Ben Reuben Girondi from Barcelona in his Exegesis to the Tractate of Nedarim. Evidently this character of foreign and aristocratic quality interested them: they would tell stories of her and weave her image in their legends and relate and attach to her otherworldly meanings.

To them, Paul commends celibacy (1 Cor. 7:9). It is medicine not for the well but for the sick (Mark 2:17).

That verse takes us back, back, back into the edges of a past eternity in which God, the Father, Son and Spirit, lived in that entirely sufficient majesty of being which encompasses Deity. If this had been recorded in the book of Psalms, there might well have been written here the word Selah — pause. Stop and consider. You are on the edge of an abyss. Something happened to the heavens and the earth which God had created. Millions of years may have run their course during that first
bi-polar system of government, where the executive component is checked and balanced by the learned judiciary component. Mention was made earlier to the fact that the Turudbe’ were vassals of the Soninke people. Thus, when the Soninke conquered Mali,63 many of the generals of the armies were of Turudbe’ origin. Among these vassal generals was Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr at-Turuudi, later known as Askiya and would lead a rebellion against the Soninke and establish an empire founded upon the principles
