Multiple gods? Divinely mandated genocide? Rejection of an
afterlife? If the Scriptures are the inspired and inerrant word of
God that Christians claim them to be, how can they contain these
things? For many believers in the modern age, traditional Christian
answers to these challenges are no longer convincing. Though
spiritually edifying, they are unable to account for the sheer
scope and depth of problems raised through the advent of
historical-critical scholarship. Following the lead of Pope
Benedict XVI, in Dark Passages of the Bible Matthew Ramage weds the
historical-critical approach with a theological reading of
Scripture based in the patristic-medieval tradition. Whereas these
two approaches are often viewed as mutually exclusive or even
contradictory, Ramage insists that the two are mutually enriching
and necessary for doing justice to the Bible's most challenging
texts. Ramage applies Benedict XVI's hermeneutical principles to
three of the most theologically problematic areas of the Bible: its
treatment of God's nature, the nature of good and evil, and the
afterlife. Teasing out key hermeneutical principles from the work
of Thomas Aquinas, Ramage analyses each of these themes with an eye
to reconciling texts whose presence would seem to violate the
doctrines of biblical inspiration and inerrancy. At the same time,
Ramage directly addresses the problems of concrete biblical texts
in light of both patristic and modern exegetical methods.
