Book Description

Excerpt from Christ and Criticism: Thoughts Concerning the Relation of Christian Faith to Biblical Criticism On the other hand, higher critics and their cham pions are scarcely less foolish when they denounce every animadversion made on their methods or their alleged results as an illicit infringement on freedom of research. Surely the right to criticise a critic's theories is as sacred as the right of the critic to propound them. The higher criticism, like all other good things is capable of abuse; and every one has a right to say when he thinks such an abuse has been committed. The special object of the following discussion is to aid in the general work of getting at the truth as regards the Bible, by setting forth how far the author ity of Jesus Christ should properly be allowed to modify, or to regulate, the process of Biblical criticism. Whatever may be thought of the result which has been reached, it should be distinctly understood that the object has been, not to oppose criticism, but to help it.
