The essays in this volume address from various perspectives the notorious gap between the historical- critical approach to the study of the Bible and the church's liturgical and dogmatic transmission of biblical faith. The authors, following the central theme suggested by Brevard S. Childs's \"canonical method\" of biblical interpretation, argue that the historical-critical method does not suffice of itself apart from faith and the church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarl Edward Braaten is an ordained minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
