Hermes and Athena

Biblical Exegesis and Philosophical Theology

Edited by Eleonore Stump and Thomas P. Flint

Notre Dame Studies in the Philosophy of Religion

Intended as a pioneering venture in dialogue between the fields of contemporary philosophy of religion and biblical studies, this volume addresses many central issues: christology, resurrection, miracles, moral development, authority, and the nature of historical-critical inquiry. Several essays engage overarching questions concerning the methodology of contemporary historically-oriented biblical scholarship, the importance of such scholarship to ordinary believers, and the gradual acceptance of such scholarship within the Catholic Church. Other essays focus on particular topics, such as the empty tomb stories in the Gospels, the connection between knowledge and morality in the letter to the Colossians, and the place of miracles in Luke and the Acts.

Reviews
