It is undertaken in the context of the conflict between so-called ""minimalists"" and ""maximalists"" within the discipline today. Though the use of the Bible as evidence is the focal point of the opposition of these two approaches, Moore shows that a number of related philosophical and practical concerns are telescoped in this issue, including concepts of Empiricism, Objectivity, Representation and Language, Subjec OP - 205 CN - DS115.5 .M66 2006eb SN - 9780567064073 SN - 0567064077 SN - 1281802816 SN - 9781281802811 SN - 9786611802813 SN - 6611802819 SN - 0567029816 SN - 9780567029812 KW - Bible. : Old Testament : Historiography.
