| Summary: | This article attends to a significant debate in the late seventeenth century and early eighteenth century between Anglicans and their Roman Catholic and dissenting opponents.A number of Anglicans clerics, including William Shrlock, Robert South and William Lowth, attempted to make a case for the their position as rational teachers, rather than as dictiorial judges, of the sense of Scripture, professionly qualified as such by their possession of a special body of knowledge. Their writings make significant claims about the nature and possibility of a profession of interpretation and, have some bearing on modern controcersies about the sources and limits of authority in textual interpretation, and the nature of a literary profession. |
