Synopsis

This book explores the fields that come together to form the study of Holy Scripture. It covers the many critical components of biblical study, examining Biblical Literature, Canonics, Textual Criticism, Higher Criticism, Biblical Exegesis, and more. Through the author's own historical analysis and teachings, the book explores the history of each discipline, how that history has formed the principles and methods used in the field, and offers guidance on how to conduct critical inquiry. The practices of Historical Criticism, Biblical Archaeology, and Biblical Theology are also brought into focus, and examined in light of how they relate to the study of Holy Scripture. This book is relevant to current theological thought and scholarship, and is essential reading for any serious student of the Bible and Christian history.
