The question is what secular biblical criticism is, and 16 scholars from around the world seek answers, some focusing on the terms secularism and secularization, and others on the nature of biblical criticism. After the terms of the debate are established, Boer (U. of Newcastle, Australia) presents a manifesto for biblical studies, to which four papers respond. The discussion turns then to the possible end of biblical studies, with essays on responsibilities to the public of biblical studies and critical rhetorical engagements for a safer world, currents and credits of New Testament studies in Germany during the past decades, and other topics. Secularism and its paradoxes gets its due in the final section, which contains such topics as saving the critic in biblical criticism, and secularizing the Bible in the US from Jefferson's Bible to Judge Moore's Ten Commandments Monument.
