The Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament, and Historical Criticism: Jews and Christians in Biblical Studies
Book • 1993
This book, written by Jon D. Levenson, explores the theoretical questions often neglected in biblical studies.
It focuses on the relationship between two interpretive communities: scholars committed to the historical-critical method and those responsible for the canonization and preservation of the Bible.
Levenson critiques both traditional and historical-critical approaches, calling for more ecumenical discussions and honesty among critics from various backgrounds.
The book is a collection of essays that raise important questions about the methodologies and presuppositions in biblical scholarship, although it is noted for its disjointed nature due to its compilation from separate articles.
