The Decline and Fall of Sacred Scripture, or How the Bible Became a Secular Book

This book explores the historical development of biblical scholarship, tracing how interpretations shifted from a faith-based approach to a more secular, historical-critical method.

The authors argue that this shift has led to a decline in faith in Scripture and the Eucharist.

They examine the influence of key figures and movements, highlighting the impact of modernism and the rise of historical criticism.

The book offers a counter-narrative, emphasizing the importance of reading Scripture within the tradition of the Church.

It encourages a return to a faith-based hermeneutic, restoring the centrality of Scripture to the life of the Church.
