Description:
Paperback / softback. New. How did the Bible survive the Enlightenment? Showing how Protestant translators and scholars in the 18th century transformed the Bible from a book justified by theology to one justified by culture, this book offers a history of the Bible in the century of its greatest crisis and, in turn, a new vision of this century and its effects on religion.

The Enlightenment Bible: Translation, Scholarship, Culture Paperback - 2007
by Jonathan Sheehan
First line
THE ENLIGHTENMENT BIBLE grew out of the soil of the Protestant Reformation, whose insistence on first principles-sola gratia, sola fides, sola scriptura-put the Bible at the center of the enormous struggles that beset sixteenth-century Christendom.
From the rear cover
"This lively, elegant and erudite book sheds new light on intellectual relations between eighteenth-century Germany and England. The book will have much to offer historians of the early-modern period, as well as historians of science, literary critics, and theologians."--Anthony Grafton, Princeton University
"I can genuinely say that this is one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. Elegantly written, it presents the issues in a clear, thorough, and scholarly fashion. It is sure to win high praise."--Susannah Heschel, Dartmouth College
