Front-ranking theologians speak out on the crisis of biblical authority and interpretation in the church, focusing in particular on the adequacy of the historical-critical method of hermeneutics. The essays in this volume address from various perspectives the notorious gap between the historical- critical approach to the study of the Bible and the church’s liturgical and dogmatic transmission of biblical faith. The authors, following the central theme suggested by Brevard S. Childs’s canonical method of biblical interpretation, argue that the historical-critical method does not suffice of itself apart from faith and the church.
