Right from the introduction, this book explains the modus operandi of each of the six branches of biblical criticism; it dispels the myths we have created around the Bible from the mind of the reader; and it demonstrates that, despite the Bible's humanity and its apparent and real errors, manipulations, interpolations, and contradictions, the biblical text was inspired and is inerrant. Raúl Zaldívar outlines the methodological principles proposed by scholars for conducting critical work on the Sacred Text in accordance with the principles traditionally upheld by the church. An academic and serious work, well-written and well-structured, addressing a difficult and complex topic. A key book for the 21st century in higher education contexts of Bible institutes, colleges, seminaries, and universities.
