For five hundred years, the church in the West has split into multiple identities, each claiming to be the best representation of the church established by Christ. New methods of s criptural interpretation have often accompanied and supported such theological claims. Rarely, however, has an exploration been undertaken to test the impact of this ecclesiological division on the reading of the Bible. A Darkened Reading explores the specific case of the nineteenth-century Church of England and competing interpretations of the book of the prophet Isaiah û a book of great importance in theological history û as a parable of the existential anguish the church has experienced because of internal division.
