Faith the Fount of Exegesis
Book Description
In this scholarly exploration, Fr. Ignacio Carbajosa examines nearly two centuries of biblical interpretation through the lens of the historical-critical method, offering readers a profound understanding of how Scripture has been studied and understood over time. The work delves into two pivotal areas of Old Testament scholarship: the origins and sources of the Pentateuch and the complex figure of the biblical prophet.
What sets this analysis apart is its unflinching examination of the underlying assumptions that have shaped modern biblical interpretation. Carbajosa reveals how cultural and philosophical biases have influenced what many consider "scientific" approaches to Scripture, challenging readers to recognize the hidden prejudices that often guide scholarly conclusions.
For those seeking to deepen their understanding of Catholic biblical interpretation, this book presents a unique synthesis that bridges the gap between historical investigation and theological insight. The author demonstrates how these two essential dimensions of biblical study can work together rather than in opposition, offering a more complete approach to understanding sacred texts.
Through careful analysis of interpretive methods and their underlying worldviews, readers will gain valuable insights into how faith and scholarship intersect in the study of Scripture. This work serves as both a critical examination of modern biblical studies and a guide toward more integrated approaches to understanding the Old Testament within the Catholic tradition.
