In BI351 Dr. Bray examines the foundations of the Old and New Testaments as well as the development of new theological perspectives since the 17th century. He outlines significant trends and major players in biblical criticism and how these relate to the modern scholarly climate. Dr. Bray provides guidance on how to approach Bible study and emphasizes the importance of applying God’s word.

The real breakthrough in OT criticism came in the winter of 1806–1807 when a German by the name of de Wette, a German scholar—a young man at the time, he was only in his mid-twenties—published a book which he called An Introduction to the Old Testament. It’s hard to believe now, but until that time, nobody had ever written anything like this because nobody really thought an introduction to the OT was necessary. You could pick it up and read it and just take it as it came.
