Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Old Tradition and the New
In a publication of the year 1902 may be found the four paragraphs, defining the issues at stake between the older orthodoxy and the type of Higher Criticism now currently de nominated the Modern View. I do not' name the author because I prefer to treat the publi cation as representative rather than personal. The ability displayed in it entitles it to be so treated. Many statements of like character have appeared; this is one of particular excel lence, chosen from among the many.
And what are these two methods? _that of the Higher Criticism is - that the Bible shall be interpreted by a devout study of its various parts with all the light that can be thrown upon it from all sources. Its concrete purpose is to ascertain its full and exact history. It has no theory of inspiration; it simply investigates, and reports what it finds.
