Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Higher Criticism and the Bible: A Manual for Students 1. The controversy between the Sceptics and the Orthodox in the seventeenth and eighteenth century was generally conducted in accordance with the usages of the old historical evidential criticism, of which the characteristic trait is dependence upon accredited human testimony, as being the most satisfactory of all evidence. With this school of critics, internal evidence had a subordinate place, rarely if ever to be received in opposition to direct testimony. The exemplification of these safe critical principles is obvious in the writings of our Learners, and Paleys, and Whatelys. So we, on the ground mainly of the testimony of our Lord and His Apostles, receive the books of the Old Testament as genuine and authentic. Other reasons cogent and weighty are adducible in defence of our belief, but we feel that the testimony of credible witnesses is the surest ground upon which we can take our firm stand in the conflict with the Scepticism of our age.
