Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of the Higher Criticism
It would appear to be high time for an efiort to clear this confusion by propounding the question, What is the Higher Criticism 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.
