This chapter makes use of all the data gathered over the six previous chapters by lexical-biblical-theological analyses of selected hymns. The final chapter is a compilation of key features and hermeneutical procedures of the “liturgical exegesis,” prefaced by a discussion on “liturgized Bible” and several Bible collections used by liturgists (Prophetologion, lectionaries, Psalter, etc.). For a better understanding of the notion of liturgized Bible and its correlative, liturgical exegesis, the chapter proposes an analogy between liturgical exegesis and the early-twentieth-century art style of cubism. Among the key features of liturgical exegesis are aural (hymnography) and visual (iconography) media, integration, collaboration, and actualization. Among hermeneutical procedures are hermeneutical pointers, intertextualities, and typologies. The typologies used by Byzantine hymnographers may be chiastic, reciprocal, embedded, converted, and meta-typologies. The chapter concludes with a list of dissimilarities between patristic biblical commentaries and liturgical exegesis. |
