NT 22.3 | Historical Criticism: From the Reformation to Its Modern Limits

The historical-critical method dominates academic biblical studies — but where did it come from, and why hasn't it delivered the consensus it promised? This video traces the method's origin from the Reformation's crisis of authority through its development in 19th-century German universities to the interpretive fragmentation that emerged by the late 20th century. Key concepts covered: • Pre-Reformation interpretive authority: how the Catholic Church functioned as gatekeeper between Scripture and believers • Sola scriptura and the Reformation's replacement principle — Scripture alone as sufficient for interpretation • The crucial difference between the reformers' sensus literalis (which included prophetic fulfillment) and the modern historical-critical sense (limited to original authorial intent) • Denominational fragmentation: how 45,000+ denominations all claiming sola scriptura revealed the need for a shared reading method • The historical-critical method's development at Tübingen, Göttingen, and Berlin as an explicitly Protestant project to stabilize interpretation • The structural parallel between Catholic institutional authority and scholarly consensus as competing gatekeepers • How the same method, applied to the same text (Romans 1:26–27), produces divergent scholarly conclusions • Newer approaches — feminist criticism, liberation theology, postcolonial criticism, queer readings, and others — that extend beyond what historical criticism was designed to ask • The Bible's cultural reach beyond historical meaning: Milton, Dante, Caravaggio, Flannery O'Connor, and the case for frameworks beyond historical criticism • The recurring cycle: each attempted solution to interpretive authority reopens the same gap it set out to close ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SOURCE MATERIALS The source materials for this video are from    • 22. Interpreting Scripture: Medieval Inter...
