The Rationalist Interpretations of the Life of Christ

by Giuseppe Ricciotti (Author), Fr. Chad Alec Ripperger (Editor) Chapter XIII of the Life of Christ by Giuseppi Ricciotti was, perhaps, the best short description of the flow of the history revolving around the question of the intellectual and theological collapse regarding the interpretation of Scripture. Anyone who has studied Scripture in a Catholic educational institution, whether it is a seminary or a university, will notice the common themes in the text. This book is chapter XIII of his text and provides a historical overview of how Scripture studies got to the point where there is no belief in the supernatural elements of the Scriptures and in some cases a complete dismissal of entire books of the Bible.
