The author describes the drastic changes or revolutions that have
occurred in the interpretation of the Bible during his own
lifetime. The author uses his own experiences to describe these
revolutions and to reflect on what consequences they have had for
his own life-story. The first revolution was the introduction of
the historical-critical approach. The Bible was interpreted as
historical in a broad sense, not in all its details. In a Roman
university the author later found that this broad historical
verification of the Bible became more and more problematic. The
second revolution is described as the Bible as Literature
methodology. This approach puts aside his- tory and examines the
Bible as a clever and subtle literary document which has controlled
religious belief and practice but cannot be substantiated as
historical fact. There was a third revolution. Within the secular
university scene, the author became involved in the study of
anthropology and sociology. Judaism and Christianity were seen as
religions amongst other religions; their sacred writings were seen
as sacred writings alongside others. The new approach forces him to
rethink the history of Israel, the relevance of the Hebrew
Scriptures and Judaism itself; he also has to rethink the history
of Jesus, the relevance of the Christian Scriptures and
Christianity. This life journey should be of interest to those
working in the fields of biblical and religion studies.
