For generations, most seminary teaching of the Bible has focused on
the historical-critical method. While this method has been the
assumption in almost every seminary curriculum, the actual effects
of this approach to Scripture have hardly been examined. From
studying the biblical studies courses at ten different seminaries
and divinity schools, Dale Martin learned what faculties were doing
and what students were hearing. This book presents his discoveries,
offering the best-ever inside look into the teaching of the Bible
for ministry. Going beyond mere description, Martin argues for a
new emphasis on interpreting Scripture within the context of church
history and theology. Such a reading would be more theological,
more integrated into the whole theological curriculum, and more
theoretical (as it would focus on whats at stake in
interpretation); however, Martin surprisingly argues, it would be
more practical at the same time.
