Bible scholar Marvin R. Vincent evocatively explores how Bible
study, reading and interpretation changed across the ages, from
early church antiquity to the end of the 19th century. A richly
informed and well-written overview of Biblical criticism's history,
arranged chronologically from the early church era. Although the
author dedicates but short chapters to each specific development,
his breezy, straightforward narrative and lucid interpretation of
the historical facts render this guide a valuable source of
knowledge in the field. Most of Vincent's commentary takes place
after the invention of the printing press; it was this device that
saw the Bible copied and distributed to a wider audience on
ever-greater scale. The growth in literacy in Europe from the 16th
to the 19th century greatly accelerated and refined the practice of
Biblical study and criticism.
