Uhh, it very, very obviously has. We live in a very different world now. Heck, even the bible acknowledges this, with the whole New Testament existing to prepare people for a world that has changed since the Old Testament was written.

No it hasn't. We've improved technologically, but that's about it. The Bible does not acknowledge that society has progressed. The New Testament exists to prepare the world for the Second Coming. You're just proving your ignorance with this.

It definitely did. Hence protestant denominations have different doctrines.

This does not follow. You're saying that the Church cared more about the letter of the law, and that's why the split happened and protestant denominations have different doctrines? What?

So people write PhD theses on reading a couple thousand pages and interpreting everything there literally without performing any additional interpretive steps or trying to contextualize it?

In secularized theology, sure. You always have some shmucks who think they can interpret the Bible better than anyone else. But that's not real theology. Real theology is about learning not only what the Bible says and means, but also why the Bible says what it does. Theology involves having an actual relationship with God. You won't find a reputable theologian who is an atheist or agnostic.
