| Summary: | This essay is a reply to the 'Critical Reflections' of B.S. Childs (JSOT 46 [1990], pp. 3-9) on J. Barr, 'The Literal, the Allegorical, and Modem Biblical Scholarship' (JSOT 44 [1989], pp. 3-17). It argues that Childs's account of modem critical scholarship as dominated by the heritage of the Enlightenment is itself historicistic in method and is thus in serious contradiction with his own serious opposition to historicism when it is applied to the Bible. |
