The book traces the evolution of biblical interpretation from the early Church Fathers to the modern era, exploring the various methods and approaches that have been used to interpret the Bible over the centuries. Farrar examines the different schools of thought that have emerged over time, including the allegorical, literal, and historical-critical approaches, and discusses the key figures who have contributed to the development of biblical interpretation, such as Origen, Augustine, Luther, and Calvin. Throughout the book, Farrar highlights the ways in which biblical interpretation has been shaped by cultural, social, and political factors, and how it has been influenced by scientific and philosophical developments. He also explores the impact of different translations of the Bible on interpretation, and the role of biblical interpretation in shaping religious and political beliefs.
