Description: A short, clear and authoritative introduction to the state of Scripture scholarship from the Reformation down to the present day. Beginning with an analysis of the mind of the Reformation period with regard to the Bible, the author traces the beginnings of Biblical criticism in Catholic and Protestant circles, discussing some of its philosophical assumptions, sketches the destructive as well as constructive aspects of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century rationalism, and shows the profound influence of recent archaeological discoveries and papal leadership on the present state of the Biblical movement.
Notes: Translation of El hombre de hoy ante la Biblia.
