| Résumé : |
A new book from James Barr is a notable event in the theological world which a reader will approach with considerable excitement. In his earlier work, The Semantics of Biblical Language, Professor Barr offered a far-reaching critique of the methods and conclusions of biblical theology which created no small stir. In this work he has turned his attention to one of the crucial problems - perhaps the crucial problem - in our contemporary understanding of the Bible, namely the relationship between the two Testaments.
Nor is It a question of dealing with one Isolated Issue. For Professor Barr shows how, In dealing with this one issue adequately, most of the greet issues of current biblical scholarship must be brought under review and put to the test. Herein lies the chief importance of the book, and the reason why it ought to be widely read by all whose concern it is to study, to Interpret and to teach the Bible. For here most of those ‘assured results of criticism' upon which we have been nurtured, and which we tend to assume rather than to prove, are examined, questioned and, not infrequently, found wanting. ... the whole book deserves close end attentive study. It deals with central Issues in a new and challenging way. It may disturb us, but, if this stirs us into profitable thought and discussion, we shall all be in the author's debt1. (Joseph Robinson in the Church Times). |
