The Bible in Human Transformation: Towards a New Paradigm for Biblical Study

By Walter Wink

'Historical biblical criticism is bankrupt'. That affirmation began this book when it first appeared. Wink asserts that despite the contributions of thehistorical-critical method, we have reached the point where this method is incapable of allowing Scripture to evoke personal and social transformation today.

DYNAMITE!

This little book is dynamite! What a great way to "get into" Bible study. Written by a New Testament scholar it's an indictment of "scientific historical criticism" of the Bible (what they do in universities!) and an attempt to open up the Bible to laypersons and the church, that they might be transformed by the living Word of God. Highly recommended.
