Opening Up the Scriptures was written by a group of eminent Catholics, among them Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger—now Pope Benedict XVI. In these erudite essays, the authors contend that historical-critical interpretation of Scripture has long since run its course in both Protestant and Catholic exegesis.

By this token, true exegesis involves the faith and humility of the exegete.
