  In this major survey of twentieth-century interpretations of the Bible, Dr Abba not only draws on the work of the major scholars of the century, but also brings together the findings of biblical scholars not readily available to the general reader. This new edition has been revised and updated and includes a new critical summary of the relevant aspects of recent radical thought. In language intelligible to the educated layman, this work surveys the field of recent biblical studies from the viewpoint of the biblical theologian. It is the belief of the author that the Bible is both the record and the instrument of a unique divine revelation, given through the history of Israel and culminating in Jesus Christ, interpreted by the church and authenticated in religious experience.
