Old Testament Criticism in the Nineteenth Century

Acest studiu important este singura lucrare de acest gen, care ofera perspective valoroase asupra dezvoltarii multor opinii standard in critica Vechiului Testament care sunt inca in evidenta astazi. Cartea raspunde la doua intrebari cheie: de ce a aparut metoda critica in Germania in secolul al XIX-lea; si, cum a fost afectata receptia sa in Anglia de climatul teologic si filozofic al vremii?This important study is the only work of its kind, offering valuable insights on the development of many of the standard views in Old Testament criticism that are still in evidence today. The book answers two key questions: why did the critical method arise in Germany in the nineteenth century; and, how was its reception in England affected by the theological and philosophical climate of the time?
