Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Resurrection Narratives and Modern Criticism: A Critique Mainly of Professor Schmiedel's Article "Resurrection Narratives" In the Encyclopedia Biblica
It may here be premised that the writer of this Essay has no antiquated prejudice whatever against the application of a system of sound criticism to any of the narratives contained in the Gospels, or others of the various books which make up our present Bible. On the contrary, he thoroughly believes that such criticism is not only permissible, but even absolutely necessary, if we are ever to arrive at an intelligent and satisfactory knowledge of these matters. While their explanation and acceptance are not merely a matter of critical enquiry, criticism of the right kind is a very important factor in anyrules which we lay down beforehand for our guidance during that search. And it is precisely here - as regards the latter condition - that the writer would join issue with much that passes for sound and helpful criticism at the present time. Indeed, it is becoming more evident every day, that the pre liminary rules often laid down for the enquiry stand greatly in need of more careful consideration, and, in some cases, of revision.
