As well as presenting a new history of seventeenth-century biblical criticism, it also critiques modern scholarly assumptions about the relationships between erudition, humanistic culture, political activism, and religious identity. Book jacket. Scholarly practices varied from one confessional context to another, and the progress of 'criticism' was never straightforward. The study demonstrates this by placing scholarly works in dialogue with works of dogmatic theology, and comparing examples from multiple confessional and national contexts. It offers major revisionist treatments of canonical figures in the history of scholarship, such as Joseph Scaliger, Isaac Casaubon, John Selden, Hugo Grotius, and Louis Cappel, based on unstudied archival as well as printed sources; and it places those figures alongside their more marginal, overlooked counterparts. It also contextualizes scholarly correspondence and other forms of intellectual exchange by considering them alongside the records of political and ecclesiastical bodies. Throughout, the study combines the methods of the history of scholarship with techniques drawn from other fields, including literary, political, and religious history. The period between the late Renaissance and the early Enlightenment has long been regarded as the zenith of the 'republic of letters', a pan-European community of like-minded scholars and intellectuals who fostered critical approaches to the study of the Bible and other ancient texts, while renouncing the brutal religio-political disputes that were tearing their continent apart at the same time. Criticism and Confession offers an unprecedentedly comprehensive challenge to this account. Throughout this period, all forms of biblical scholarship were intended to contribute to theological debates, rather than defusing or transcending them, and meaningful collaboration between scholars of different confessions was an exception, rather than the norm. 'Neutrality' was a fiction that obscured the ways in which scholarship served the interests of ecclesiastical and political institutions.

With Cyril of Alexandria (c. 378-444), a new period in the history of Alexandrian exegesis begins. Christian interpretation of the Bible, previously entrusted to teachers, passes now into the hands of a powerful bishop, who clearly overcomes the allegorism of the grand masters (Origen, Pierius, Didymus the Blind) and borrows elements from the exegetical model of Eusebius of Caesarea and the Antiochenes, yet retains an Alexandrian coloring. This evolution is particularly noticeable in the “Commentary on the Twelve Prophets” and the “Commentary on Isaiah”. In these works, Cyril proposes a more balanced model of interpretation, one which insists on the importance of Scripture’s historical-literal dimension. Through a detailed analysis of Cyril’s exegetical method, this study highlights the originality of the Cyrillian approach and underscores Cyril’s decisive role in the renewal of the Alexandrian tradition. After reviewing the most characteristic affinities with Origen, the grammarian and allegorist, particular attention is paid to the emergence of a post-Origenian exegesis in Cyril’s commentaries: changes in terminology, method, content, and purpose all attest his commitment to reform. Finally, the present work addresses the thorny question of Cyril’s sources by distinguishing those which merely parallel Cyril’s work from those which really influenced him. Avec Cyrille d’Alexandrie (v. 378-444) s’ouvre une nouvelle période dans l’histoire de l’exégèse alexandrine. Le commentaire chrétien de la Bible, confié jusque-là à des didascales, passe aux mains du puissant évêque d’Alexandrie, qui s’affranchit nettement de l’allégorisme des grands maîtres (Origène, Piérius, Didyme l’Aveugle) et emprunte au modèle exégétique d’Eusèbe de Césarée et des Antiochiens, tout en conservant une coloration alexandrine. Cette évolution est particulièrement sensible dans le «Commentaire sur les Douze Prophètes» et le «Commentaire sur Isaïe», où Cyrille propose un modèle d’interprétation plus équilibré, en insistant sur l’importance de la dimension historico-littérale de l’Écriture. À travers une analyse approfondie de sa méthode exégétique, cette monographie s’attache à la fois à faire ressortir l’originalité de la démarche cyrillienne et à souligner son rôle déterminant dans le renouvellement de la tradition alexandrine. Après le rappel des affinités les plus caractéristiques avec Origène, grammairien et allégoriste, cette étude a accordé une attention minutieuse à l’émergence d’une exégèse post-origénienne sous la plume de Cyrille: des changements de termes, de procédés, de contenu et de finalité qui témoignent d’une volonté de réforme. En dernier lieu, a été abordée la question épineuse des sources de Cyrille, en distinguant celles qui présentent uniquement des parallèles avec son œuvre de celles qui ont exercé une véritable influence sur lui.
