Godless Engineer | THIS Is The Problem With Honesty in Biblical Studies ft. Dr. Richard Carrier @godlessengineer | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Today, I’m diving deep into a critical issue within biblical scholarship: the problem of honesty. In this video, we’re taking a closer look at a revealing clip from my interview with Dr. Richard Carrier. This segment sheds light on a significant concern regarding the integrity of biblical studies, highlighted by a firsthand account from a biblical scholar who has faced the ethical dilemmas normalized in this field.
In this clip, Dr. Carrier and I discuss scholars' troubling experiences, where loyalty to the academic guild and institutional pressures can compromise the truthfulness and objectivity expected in scholarly work. We explore the notion that many scholars, even those trained in non-Christian contexts, are pressured to conform to certain theological narratives. Dr. Carrier’s insights raise essential questions about the overall trustworthiness of biblical scholarship.
We also delve into a personal story from a biblical scholar who was pressured to sign a statement of faith he did not fully believe in, revealing the widespread issue of scholars compromising their beliefs for job security. This story is not an isolated incident but rather indicative of a broader problem within the field, where the fear of administrative backlash can lead to a lack of transparency and honesty.
Join me as we unpack these issues and discuss whether this should be the accepted norm in biblical studies or if we should demand higher standards from scholars.
