Pandora's box opened An examination and defense of historical-critical method and its master practitioners Roy A. Harrisville - U.S.A William B. Eerdmans 2014 - 358tr. Paperback 23cm

For many, the historical-critical method has released a host of threats to the Christian faith and confession. In Pandora's Box Opened, however, Roy Harrisville argues that despite the evils brought upon biblical interpretation by the historical-critical method, there is still hope for it as a discipline. Harrisville begins by describing the emergence and use of the historical-critical method. He then attends to the malaise that has come over the method, which he says persists. Finally, Harrisville commends the historical-critical method, though shorn of its arrogance. He claims that the method and all its users comprise a `Pandora's Box` that, when opened, releases `myriad other pain,` but hope remains.
