Synopsis
Excerpt from That Monster the Higher Critic
The story very well illustrates one aspect of the popular attitude towards Biblical criticism. Upon the settled faith and tranquil content of a large body of Christians, breaks the cry, The higher criticism has broken loose! It is charging, head on, with smoking nostrils, against the Bible! It means destruction to the faith once delivered to the saints. Meanwhile few stop to ask, What is higher criticism, anyway? The majority run; that is, they evade the question with some such irrelevant platitude as The old Bible is good enough for me. A few more determined souls, never for a moment doubting that higher criticism, whatever it may mean, is something deadly, set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, and solemnly affirm that Higher Criticism must be exterminated and the higher critics suppressed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The book delves deep into the nature of biblical criticism, arguing that it's nothing other than a wholesome inquiry into the nature of the Bible. It argues that criticism is not the antithesis of devotion, but a precondition for it, as it seeks to remove the encrustations that have accumulated over the text to reveal the divine word within. The book places high importance on the role of scholarship in biblical studies, demonstrating how it has been fundamental in recovering the original text and understanding the Bible's historical and literary contexts. The author stresses that biblical scholarship has often been a bulwark against destructive criticism, defending the Bible from those who would deny its authority and integrity. In the end, this book encourages readers to engage with biblical criticism not out of fear or suspicion, but as a means of deepening their reverence for the Bible and gaining a truer understanding of its message. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
