Biblical Criticism: Friend or Foe? The Seduction of Catholic Scripture Scholarship to Modernism

Is modern biblical criticism a tool the Church can safely use, or a solvent that quietly erodes the authority of Scripture? In this study Robert Sungenis gives a bird's-eye view of the history of modern biblical scholarship, from the liberal Protestants of the 18th and 19th centuries to their liberal counterparts within the Catholic Church in the 20th, and shows why Pope Pius X warned the faithful to avoid the Protestant influence.
