2.0 out of 5 stars Monument to Self not Scholarship, November 7, 2007
By 
Son of Clovis (Clovis, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Muratorian Fragment and the Development of the Canon (Oxford Theological Monographs) (Hardcover)
Hahneman is a first rate modernist scholar who proposes history is what he makes it and truth is that forged on his anvil. The volume is a treasure of widespread research. However the author is weak on truth and demonstrates that in trying to recusitate a still-born idea from the 1970's and mold it into acceptance in today's world of lessoning standards of scholarship.

Many will stand up and cheer if they hold his weak ideas of truth or when gagging on his multitudinous research and pedantic language they mindlessly adopt his conclusions.

A careful modernist scholar will note his fallacious assumptions and oversight of certain facts (as noted by Dr. E. Ferguson) and reject the volumes' implicit claim to be a monument of scholarship. Quality scholars may sympathize but must reject the conclusion for its failures to prove its case.
