"Behind" the Text?
History and Biblical Interpretation
Bartholomew, Dr. Craig, Evans, C. Stephens, Healy, Mary, Rae, Murray
Publisher's description: This volume well illustrates the Christian adage of faith pushes reason to achieve goals previously unsuspected but still proper to itself. The last few centuries have seen the development of an epistemology and an understanding of history that never leave the closed system thinking of both Modernism and Post-Modernism. In biblical studies their child is the Historical Critical Method. The essays presented here respect the need and fruitfulness of a critical historiography while beginning the much-needed process of correcting the philosophical tenets underlying much modern and postmodern biblical research. The result is a book that mediates a faith understanding, both theoretical and practical, of how to read the Bible authentically as a Christian today.
