Where is Biblical Criticism or Hermeneutics?

+1
−1

Don't you need to add a secular academic Hermeneutics site which sets apart from the dogma-based Christianity site? There will be always a huge barrier between religious believers and scientific students of biblical criticism. To make the group grow, it will first have to exist. Christianity should allow Bible questions, but the Hermeneutics should strictly take only objective scientific criteria of biblical criticism which ranges from literary criticism to translation issues.

Related scope discussion (the hermeneutics question wasn't really settled there): What's on and off topic?

There is already another site that has tried such a bifurcation, and with disastrous results in my opinion. We've thus far left this open to various Christian approaches to the biblical texts, including scholarly and critical approaches. With that said, this community is nascent and very open to feedback! As you can see, there hasn't been much contribution yet.
