 New Unread Oversized Trade Paperback. Unmarked.
 Historical-critical method in Biblical scholarship has been a Pandora’s box for the intellectual life of the church. No achievement of
 modern scholarship has been more effective in understanding the Bible, yet it has also seriously challenged a church trying to preserve
 the integrity of its cherished theological traditions. In this critically acclaimed book Roy Harrisville and Walter Sundberg trace the
 development and drama of historical-critical method by surveying the major figures who created and employed it - from Baruch Spinoza
 in the seventeenth century to present-day interpreters.
