This title offers an introduction to one of the core methods of
approaching biblical texts. "Historical Critical Analysis" is the
main way in which the Bible (both the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament
and the New Testament) has been examined and read by scholars in
the last century. The term refers to a range of methodologies which
examine the origins of biblical texts, in relation to other
contemporaneous texts, to form critical approaches and to questions
of authorship, audience and authenticity. The aim is to get as
close to the 'original text' and its 'original meaning' as
possible. For many years 'Historical Critical Method' has been the
cornerstone upon which biblical scholarship is built, even as
modern studies examine other theoretical approaches to reading the
text in history, tradition, and from different audience
perspectives "The Historical Critical Method" still presents the
crucial starting point for students and scholars. "Continuum's
Guides for the Perplexed" are clear, concise and accessible
introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and
readers can find especially challenging - or indeed downright
bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes
the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key
themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough
understanding of demanding material.
