Synopsis

After the Enlightenment, German theologians in an over-zealous attempt to apply the then new Scientific Method to the study of the Bible, threw the "Bible Baby" out with the dirty bathwater. Science and evolution were the Zeitgeist, and theologians around the world overly bought into the naturalistic thinking of the time. Looking back, we now can see that almost all the science of the 18th and 19th centuries was very incomplete compared to what we know today. While science corrects itself with time, German theology has a unique and very unscientific way of progressing by building only upon previously accepted ideas even if those previous ideas were wrong. Thus, the unintended consequence of Biblical criticism over the past 200 years has been the trashing of the Bible as the Word of God. This book traces the history of the problem and proposes a Reformation of the way we view the Bible through Science and History thereby resurrecting the Bible once again to its proper position as the Word of God. If we get the Bible right, we will get Jesus right; if we get Jesus right, it will be all right.
