Use and Abuse of the Bible (Library of Philosophy and Religion) - Hardcover
The basic concern of this book is with the problems raised by the fact that so far as western cultures are concern, the Bible must now be used in the context of beliefs, assumptions and presuppositions widely different from both those of the people who wrote it and those who have interpreted it during the great part of Christian history. This is taken to mean that we can no longer understand the Bible either in the sense in which the various writers understood it or in which the Christian fathers, the mediaeval theologians, the Reformers and so on understood it. The question, therefore, is now it should be understood in our culture.

About the book >.>.> One of the main convictions underlying the lectures which follow may be expressed like this: people of different periods and cultures differ very widely; in some cases so widely that accounts of the nature and relations of God, men and the world put forward in one culture may be unacceptable, as they stand, in a different culture, even though they may have expressed profound truth in their time and expressed it in a form entirely appropriate to the original situation. Since it will be a central contention of the lectures that a situation of this sort has arisen in connexion with some of the teaching of the Bible, the truth or falsity of the initial conviction is obviously a matter of crucial importance. Reasons for it are naturally given in the course of the lectures themselves, but discussion with the audience after the delivery of the final lecture suggested, what subsequent discussion with others has confirmed, that the point is one which needs further exposition and defence if t.
