Nature of Biblical Criticism, The

---

Outline: Thought biblical criticism in its traditional forms continues to be widely practiced, it faces increasing hostility on two fronts: from biblical conservatives, who claim it is inherently positivistic and religiously skeptical, and from postmodernists, who see it as driven by the falsities of objectivity and neutrality. In this magisterial overview of the key factors and developments in biblical studies, the author demonstrates that thse evaluations of biblical criticism fail to do justice to the work that has been done by critical scholars over many generations. He shows that traditional biblical criticism has had as its central concern a semantic interest: a desire to establish the "plain sense" of the biblical text, which in itself requires sensitivity to many literary aspects of texts. Therefore, he argues, biblical criticism already includes many of the methodological approaches now being recommended as alternatives to it - and further, that the agenda of biblical studies is far less fragmanted than often thought.
