Description

Explore the historical transformation of biblical interpretation with this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. Part of the Oxford Studies in Historical Theology series, The Death of Scripture and the Rise of Biblical Studies provides a detailed examination of how the academic Bible was created. Author Michael Legaspi traces the shift in scriptural authority following the Reformation. By analyzing the fragmentation of interpretation in Western churches, the book explains how the role of biblical study changed over time. Through a focused study of German scholar Johann David Michaelis (1717-1791), the text investigates how critics redefined the purpose and function of the Bible. This book offers a fresh perspective on the origins of biblical studies. It helps readers understand the complex relationship between the Bible and the church during a period of significant intellectual change. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of theology and the evolution of academic religious studies.
