| Summary: | A serious objection against Christian� faith is that the Bible is not trustworthy because the history it relates does not correspond to the facts of history. In theology this problem is �solved� by some biblical scholars by an acceptance of the research methods that are used for all literature alike while others accept the historical critique by understanding the biblical history� as a faithful but a-historical revelation. Fundamentalists reject� the historical-critical objections and stress the inerrancy of Scripture. In this contribution these three <br />�answers� are rejected: biblical studies shall take the (real) facts serious indeed (pace inerrancy), nor jump into an a-historical revelatory history next to historical criticism (pace strong Barthian views in the �Amsterdam School�), but neither read religious scriptures all in the same way �as all literature� � but apply academic methods as is appropriate for the Hebrew and Greek <br />Bible.� |
