✦ Synopsis

The Bible was at the leading edge of the seventeenth-century discussion of religion and was embroiled in practically every issue of the intellectual revolution. This essay explores advances in the understanding of the Bible as a book with a history, as well as researches (e.g., ancient chronology) by biblical literalists that unintentionally undercut biblical authority and ironically undermined the ever-escalating claims made for the Bible by Protestants. I then turn to the Quaker critique of bibliolatry as further evidence against the conventional view that biblical criticism was motivated by scepticism.
