The Tension Between the Original Context and the Enthorial Intent

The tension between respecting the original context and the enthorial intention is a perennial problem. How do we be christians in ireligious sense, and historians and experts in modern critical scholarship? Because it's not obvious. I think you modern people have more of a historical consciousness than, say, john calvin. Even though john calvin had a historical consciousness, it wasn't informed by things like archaeology or advanced science in any sense.
