The scholars who offer interpretations that support JW readings are not themselves JWs, they have a variety of backgrounds and views, including liberal Christians, atheists, agnostics, Jews, and others. Whereas scholars who read the Trinity into the Bible are themselves invariably Trinitarian believers.
There was an interesting exchange the Expository Times where the Trinitarian scholar Gerald O’Collins complained that Paul Holloway had not paid sufficient attention to Christian tradition and dogma when he wrote his commentary on Philippians which concludes that Paul believed Jesus is an angel. Holloway’s response to O’Collins is summarised in the abstract as follows:
Gerald O’Collins’s insistence that scholars read Paul’s encomium to Christ in Phil 2:6-11 as anticipating later Christian orthodoxy confuses theological apologetics for historical interpretation. His claim that Paul anticipates Nicene Christology is anachronistic, tendentious, and methodologically confused. Phil 2:6-11 expresses a Jewish angel Christology, not a teleological foreshadowing of Nicene orthodoxy. A close reading of O’Collins’s essay is instructive at a number of levels.
In a footnote Holloway makes the following comment on the topic of objectivity:
Conservative apologists often introduce a false equivalency here, claiming that critical historians are no less biased than they themselves are. But there is a vast difference between being a finite human being with a limited perspective and unconscious biases and an ideologue with an agenda that cannot be challenged and to which all evidence must bow. Objectivity, like other large and important values such as justice and love, is a stubbornly elusive goal, but it matters if one tries.
The whole response is well worth reading.
