So as I have been reading books or articles by modern, so called 'evangelical' scholars, I am becoming increasingly disillusioned with modern Biblical studies. While they certainly may be raging fundamentalists in the academy, and probably Christians, they embrace so much of what would have been considered liberal not too long ago.
Today's church in western civilization seems to be largely torn between, liberal populism and 'the priesthood of scholars' (a phrase borrowed from Guy Waters). Do you think it is true with regard to the latter? Is the state of modern Biblical studies basically dead? Do they contribute anything worthwhile nowadays besides some background material?
