متن يادداشت

According to most historians, by the end of the eighteenth century, belief in the Bible as a supernaturally inspired and infallible text containing literal truths crumbled for many Americans in response to the relentless progress of secularizing forces. However, as this fascinating study shows, the road to rational skepticism was unintentionally paved by the Scriptures' most able and ardent defenders. As theologically conservative Americans defended the Bible, they were forced to alter their concept of revelation to preserve their faith while meeting new standards of plausibility. In doing so, they gradually yet radically undermined the traditional understanding of Holy Writ by stripping it of its supernatural nature. Skeptics were not responsible for knocking the Bible from its pedestal; the fault in fact lay with its orthodox apologist. Book jacket
