Roman Catholic priest, member of Society of Saint-Sulpice and a prominent biblical scholar, esteemed by not only his colleagues of the same confession. One of the first Roman Catholic scholars to apply historical-critical analysis to the Bible.
3.5 stars. Very useful volume; not always satisfying; the claims to be operating scientifically and objectively are a somewhat humorous reminder that the book hails from a previous generation of scholarship. Still, its findings and its attention to the details of the texts demand to be wrestled with. I hope to write more shortly.
This purports to be the work of a study group of Roman Catholic and Protestant scholars, however the Protestants are all Lutheran and not representative of the broad range of theological positions.
