The Dark Passages of the Old Testament
Book •
Matthew Ramage's 'The Dark Passages of the Old Testament' examines morally troubling and theologically difficult Old Testament narratives, using tools from higher criticism, classical theology, and contemporary scholarship.
Ramage aims to reconcile these passages with a coherent vision of God's character by exploring allegorical, typological, and theological readings.
The book engages with both patristic insights (including Aquinas and Benedict XVI) and modern biblical scholarship to offer pastoral and doctrinally responsible interpretations.
It is intended for readers seeking to understand how faith communities can faithfully interpret violent or troubling biblical texts.
The work contributes to ongoing debates about biblical inspiration, historical reading, and theological hermeneutics.
