Theology, Politics, And Exegesis: Essays On The History Of Modern Biblical Criticism, Jeffrey Morrow Dec 2016

Theology, Politics, And Exegesis: Essays On The History Of Modern Biblical Criticism, Jeffrey Morrow

This present volume seeks to remedy that situation by exploring the early history of modern biblical criticism in the seventeenth century prior to the time of the Enlightenment when the birth of modern biblical criticism is usually dated.
