Publisher's Synopsis
The Higher Criticism: An Outline of Modern Biblical Study is a book written by Charles Wesley Rishell and published in 1893. The book is a comprehensive overview of the field of higher criticism, which is the study of the Bible that seeks to understand its historical and literary origins, as well as its meaning and interpretation. Rishell's book provides a detailed examination of the various methods and approaches used in higher criticism, including textual analysis, source criticism, form criticism, and redaction criticism. He also explores the historical context of the Bible, including the political and social factors that influenced its creation and development. In addition to discussing the scholarly debates and controversies surrounding higher criticism, Rishell also addresses the implications of this field of study for religious belief and practice. He argues that higher criticism can help to deepen our understanding of the Bible and its message, while also encouraging a more critical and reflective approach to religious faith. Overall, The Higher Criticism is an important work in the history of biblical scholarship, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of the Bible and its interpretation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
