Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Glance at the Higher Criticism Prof. Cheyne expresses the hope that through criticism a transformation in the theology of the church may be effected; and Dr. Briggs confessed, many years ago, that the Higher Criticism of the Bible had "brought about in his mind a different conception in every department of theology." The most authoritative and most representative exponents of the new criticism are of the rationalistic school, and they do not hesitate to ascribe to those we call sacred writers, who claim to speak in the name of the Lord and as moved by the Holy Spirit, mistakes ignorance, blunders, fraudulent methods, and sometimes deceit. As Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, recently said, speaking of the iconoclastic critic of the day: "To him the Bible appears merely as a sort of crazy quilt of untrue history, distorted science, weak poetry, impractical morality and vague foreshadowings of the unknown and unknowable." The setting of the different books, their unit character, their place in the historical development of the people, and their relation to the periods when the different religious and ethical teachings were given - that these are not at all as they seem. Of many of the books it is claimed they are but patchwork and conglomerates, fragments by different writers of far separated times pieced together, and although finally brought under the supervising and editing hand of some redactor, or a succession of redactors, yet often very awkwardly done. In what they consider the work of "rightly dividing the word of truth," they claim ability to discriminate in the authorship, not only of different parts of a book, but of a chapter, and of a single verse or sentence even; and in a fine critical sense, and nicety of distinction, they assign to different imaginary writers "each his portion in due season" through the centuries of Jewish history.
