| Summary: | John Barton's new book represents his Croall Lectures given in the University of Edinburgh in 2005. With the backing of prodigious reading, he provides a study of biblical criticism which is profound, concentrated, and wide ranging. It comes as the most recent of a number of papers and books from Professor Barton on this subject and discusses many of its numerous aspects with great subtlety and candour. All through the period of his own work, the problems associated with the critical study of the Bible have been the subject of controversy and of significant new developments. As everybody knows, they form an important aspect of the current public troubles in the churches over homosexuality and other matters. |
