Excerpt from A General Introduction to the Bible, Vol. 2 of 4: Textual Biblical Criticism Higher Biblical Criticism Biblical Archaeology
The treatise on Higher Biblical Criticism is a useful novelty in a work on General Introduction. It is time that the student should know what Higher Criticism is in itself, and not merely in its aims and purposes. It is time that he should understand What it is worth and what it is not worth, what it can do and What it can not do.
Many writers on the subject mention only those few phases of Higher Criticism that are applicable and that are applied (but without one word of explanation) to some special, concrete book of the Bible. To try to learn what Higher Criticism really is by reading such works is like attempting to learn the art of medicine by reading a lot of doctors' prescriptions, most of which happen to have been given for colds and coughs, for mumps and measles.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to textual criticism of the Holy Bible and the New Testament, in particular. It explores how the New Testament was originally written, and the challenges scholars face when trying to produce an accurate version in the present day.

Higher textual criticism studies the nature, the origin, the literary form and the value of the sacred books, whereas textual criticism tries to detect and to correct the errors committed by copyists or transcribers in the wording of the text. The author provides a detailed analysis of the most important various readings in the text of the Greek New Testament and discusses which of them are to be preferred to the others. The book concludes by discussing the principles and methods of textual criticism and shows how they can be used to produce a more accurate version of the New Testament.
