COLLEGE ENGLISH AND THE BIBLE

Interreligious education has been a concern over the past few decades and continues to be a challenge. This article will review ways in which religious education has attempted to face the issue of education for increasingly multifaith societies. It identifies objectivity in religion as a major concern and will provide a perspective based on the writings of philosopher-theologian Bernard Lonergan.     

A DIALOGICAL APPROACH TO CRITICAL BIBLE STUDY: THE USE OF SCHWABIAN DELIBERATION TO INTEGRATE THE WORK OF BIBLE SCHOLARS WITH EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

This article uses analytic tools provided by Joseph Schwab to address a “practical” problem faced by many liberal religious educational institutions: the tension between historical-critical study of the Bible and an affective connection to it. This problem is painted in broad strokes; then two contemporary Bible scholars, Jeffrey Tigay and Yair Zakovitch, are analyzed for the “principles of enquiry” used in their disciplinary orientations. This analysis is merged with a dialogical hermeneutics approach to text, using the work of Kepnes, Buber, and Gadamer. The article concludes by considering how this study might inform Bible curricula in liberal religious educational contexts.
