Introduction: "How can that be in the Bible?" -- 1. The Bible's problems -- 2. Benedict's "Method C" proposal and Catholic principles for Biblical interpretation -- 3. The problem of development -- 4. The problem of apparent contradictions -- 5. Method C exegesis, the nature of God, and the nature of good and evil -- 6. Method C exegesis and the afterlife -- Conclusion: Method C exegesis in the Church -- Bibliography -- Scripture index -- General index.
Following the lead of Pope Benedict XVI, in Dark Passages of the Bible Matthew Ramage weds the historical-critical approach with a theological reading of Scripture based in the patristic-medieval tradition. Whereas these two approaches are often viewed as mutually exclusive or even contradictory, Ramage insists that the two are mutually enriching and necessary for doing justice to the Bible's most challenging texts.
