Description: The title of this book is: The Critical Meaning of the Bible.It is written by Raymond E. Brown, S.S..About this Item: Paulist Press. 1981. Soft Cover. Condition: Good. 150 pages of text, notes, references, and index. There is a reason why Ray Brown was considered the foremost Catholic Theologian of our time. There is very little the man does not know about the Bible, biblical archaeology, biblical history, biblical criticism etc. etc. Not only is he fully aware of what other scholars think about individual topics, he generally cites them in the footnotes and discloses whether he agrees or disagrees with their assessment.In general, this makes reading Ray Brown difficult. I would say that "most" of his books are written for scholarly enterprises and if one hasn't acquired a PhD in theology, the time spent is just that, difficult....so many references, so many clarifying paragraphs....which makes for an absolute canvassing of any given topic and his thoroughness leaves nothing to be desired. He is a scholar's scholar. This book is like that, small in number of pages but absolute clarity is given to the topic of "what the Bible means" when read with a critical eye. While any reading of the Bible yields positive results, Ray Brown states categorically that to read the Bible uncritically is to miss the full beauty of the script and the theological message crafted so exquisitely. A "fundamental" understanding of Scripture is far less than what a critical reading yields.FREE SHIPPING !!!!This is a soft cover is good condition.
