Often attending novel models of the church are new scriptural interpretive methods that support theological claims. Rarely, however, has an exploration been undertaken to test the impact of the ecclesiological division on the reading of the Bible. A darkened reading explores the specific case of the nineteenth-century Church of England and competing interpretations of the book of the prophet Isaiah-- a book of great importance in theological history-- as a kind of parable of the existential anguish the church has experienced as a consequence of being torn apart."-- back cover UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=864804 ER -
