The Bible after Babel : Historical Criticism in a Postmodern Age Biblical scholars today often sound as if they are caught in the aftermath of Babel -- a clamor of voices unable to reach common agreement.

Engaging and even-handed, Collins examines the quest of historical criticism to objectively establish a text's basic meaning.
