In this book, Travis DeCook explores the theological and political
innovations found in early modern accounts of the Bible's origins.
In the charged climate produced by the Reformation and humanist
historicism, writers grappled with the tension between the Bible's
divine and human aspects, and they produced innovative narratives
regarding the agencies and processes through which the Bible came
into existence and was transmitted. DeCook investigates how these
accounts of Scripture's production were taken up beyond the
expected boundaries of biblical study, and were redeployed as the
theological basis for wide-reaching arguments about the proper
ordering of human life. DeCook provides a new, critical perspective
on ideas regarding secularity, secularization, and modernity,
challenging the dominant narratives regarding the Bible's role in
these processes. He shows how these engagements with the Bible's
origins prompt a rethinking of formulations of secularity and
secularization in our own time.
