Edited by Carl E. Braaten and Robert W. Jenson and published by Eerdmans in 1995 (T&T Clark issued a British edition in 1996). The essays address the gap between the historical-critical study of the Bible and the church's liturgical and dogmatic handing on of biblical faith. Following the canonical approach associated with Brevard S. Childs, the authors argue that the historical-critical method does not suffice on its own, apart from faith and the church.
