This fifth volume in the Foundations of Contemporary Interpretation
series is an exploration of both the historical nature of the Bible
and the character of biblical history writing. In view of recent
trends in biblical studies, the age-old question of the
relationship between history and faith must again take center stage
in hermeneutical discussion. The Art of Biblical History seeks to
address basic questions that all Bible readers might ask: Is the
Bible a history book? What do we mean by "history" anyway? In what
sense is biblical historicity important for faith? Are there
guidelines for discovering what historical truth claims a
particular passage may be making? The discussions take account of
both current thinking among biblical scholars and the best insights
of secular historians. The result is an attempt to describe
biblical history writing as a kind of representational art and to
commend a hermeneutical approach that does justice not merely to
the historical or literary or theological character of the Bible,
but to all three at once.
