DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Elements of the Higher Criticism It would appear to be high time for an e ort to clear this confusion by propounding the question, What is the Higher Criticism P with a view to finding a detailed and precise answer. We shall not dare to hope that our answer should be accepted as satisfactory by everybody. But whether universally accepted as satisfactory or not, it cannot but serve at least two classes of readers. First, in the world Of students who are about to approach the questions Of criticism as a part of their preparation for teaching and preaching the Bible, an aid to clear notions of what criticism is cannot fail to be of some use. It is true the world of students has its competent guides into this field but the competent teacher knows better than any one else the value Of a summary, in systematic form, Of such a subject in the hands Of his pupils. It saves him much valuable time for ad vanced work in the praxis Of the Higher Criticism, and furnishes him with an outline and system for explanations which otherwise might appear, and be, desultory and scattered.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Glance at the Higher Criticism Prof. Cheyne expresses the hope that through criticism a transformation in the theology of the church may be effected; and Dr. Briggs confessed, many years ago, that the Higher Criticism of the Bible had "brought about in his mind a different conception in every department of theology." The most authoritative and most representative exponents of the new criticism are of the rationalistic school, and they do not hesitate to ascribe to those we call sacred writers, who claim to speak in the name of the Lord and as moved by the Holy Spirit, mistakes ignorance, blunders, fraudulent methods, and sometimes deceit. As Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, recently said, speaking of the iconoclastic critic of the day: "To him the Bible appears merely as a sort of crazy quilt of untrue history, distorted science, weak poetry, impractical morality and vague foreshadowings of the unknown and unknowable." The setting of the different books, their unit character, their place in the historical development of the people, and their relation to the periods when the different religious and ethical teachings were given - that these are not at all as they seem. Of many of the books it is claimed they are but patchwork and conglomerates, fragments by different writers of far separated times pieced together, and although finally brought under the supervising and editing hand of some redactor, or a succession of redactors, yet often very awkwardly done. In what they consider the work of "rightly dividing the word of truth," they claim ability to discriminate in the authorship, not only of different parts of a book, but of a chapter, and of a single verse or sentence even; and in a fine critical sense, and nicety of distinction, they assign to different imaginary writers "each his portion in due season" through the centuries of Jewish history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Higher Criticism: Its Assumptions, Methods and Effects; A Sketch It is not necessary to dive very far into the mysteries of the Higher Criticism before perceiving that. In the pre sent aspect oi the subject. Much more is involved in these modern discussions on the Old Testament than the date, authorship. And mode of compofition of the Books. Partie ularly of the Pentateuch. It will soon be discovered that underlying all these questions is a theory which professes to interpret the history of israel according to the principle oi a continuous natural development. From the lowest stages of belief up to monotheism, and from primitive usage up to the complete Levitical system. This theory was not always in vogue among Higher Critics. Its adoption marks a remarkable turning point in the history of Old Testament criticism. Before this, the criticism had proceeded mainly on literary grounds. Diction, style, ideas, the connection of paragraphs and sentences, supplied the staple arguments and furnished the criteria from which all conclusions were drawn. And the data being so vague, no sure footing could be found for a common standing ground, and so, speaking generally, every imaginable diflcrencc prevailed among -the critics. But in 1866 Prof. Karl H'. Graf, of Gottingen, published his essay on The Historical Bo fits of the Old Testament, in which he proposed the complete reversal of the main results of the older criticism, by placing the Law later than the Prophets, _ by a big leap. Over the yawning gulf of five centuries. It certainly does not help to inspire cone fidence in the newer critical methods to know that this leap was actually made, and for no other reason than be cause the development theory rendered such an alteration necessary.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Higher Criticism: An Address Nearly half a century later there arose Ferdinand Christian Baur, the originator of the Tubingen School, who caught much of his inspiration as a scholar and critic from Eichhorn, and was accounted by his con temporaries a man of exceptional gifts and attain ments. Like Eichhorn he denied miracles. Assum ing the impossibility of any departure from natural law, he entered, only to vitiate, the whole field of his research. He created theological distinctions in the Epistles of Paul and of Peter, which were the creation of his own fertile brain, deprecated the supernatural element of both, and pronounced the religious zeal of great leaders of religious thought simply the fervor of speculation and the pride of Opinion.
