Literature And Dogma: An Essay Towards A Better Apprehension Of The Bible

By Matthew Arnold

Book Overview

Literature and Dogma is an essay written by Matthew Arnold, a prominent Victorian poet and critic, in which he attempts to provide a better understanding of the Bible through a literary and critical analysis. Arnold argues that the Bible should be read as a work of literature rather than as a religious text, and that it should be interpreted in light of historical and cultural context. He also critiques the traditional dogmatic interpretations of the Bible, arguing that they are often narrow and limiting. Arnold's essay is considered a seminal work in the field of biblical criticism and has had a significant impact on the study of the Bible and its interpretation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
