Conybeare, a distinguished Oxford philologist, has developed sketches of a movement of thought conducted by a few prominent scholars and critics. He has singled out courageous writers who, besides being learned, were ready to face obloquy and unpopularity; for, unhappily, in the domain of Biblical criticism it is difficult to please the majority of readers without being apologetic in tone and goody-goody.
