Charles W. Hedrick is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri. He is the author of numerous books and articles relating to the study of Christian origins. His most recent books are The Wisdom of Jesus (Cascade) and Parabolic Figures or Narrative Fictions? (Cascade).
"Charles Hedrick's Unmasking Biblical Faiths is a refreshingly
sustained journey into the interior . . . He patiently presents
what many would assume to be 'God's truth' coming from the pages of
scripture and then discloses that there are other ways of reading
that very material. Adept in rigors of biblical criticism, Hedrick
demonstrates that reason, science, and modern experience must share
in the interpretive discussion. Otherwise, the bible reader lapses
into a mindless acceptance of traditions that may well end in
isolation from and violence towards the world."
--Arthur J. Dewey, Xavier University
"The irony of writing with no axes to grind and nothing at stake,
but on topics with many axes to grind and everything at stake, can
be accomplished only by a retired academic of religion with the
articulation, wisdom, and probity of Charlie Hedrick."
--Glenna S. Jackson, Professor of Religious Studies, Otterbein
University
