Pandora'S Box Opened: An Examination And Defense Of Historical-Critical Method And Its Master Practitioners

For many, the historical-critical method has released a host of threats to Christian faith and confession. In Pandora's Box Opened, however, Roy Harrisville argues that despite the evils brought upon biblical interpretation by the historical-critical method, there is still hope for it as a discipline. Harrisville begins by describing the emergence and use of the historical-critical method. He then attends to the malaise that has come over the method, which he says still persists. Finally, Harrisville commends the historical-critical method, though shorn of its arrogance. He claims that the method and all its users comprise a "Pandora's Box" that, when opened, releases "a myriad other pains," but hope still remains. 9780802869807 0802869807 368 BOOK Religion NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=eHHKAwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&edge=curl&source=gbs_api en
