Excerpt from The Main Issue: A Straight Question to Professor Briggs
Church his fate has made him the leader of the party oi' the higher criticism on this continent. His two standard works, Biblical Study and Messianic Prophecy, lie on the working desks of thousands of young clergymen of all denominations, who are learning therefrom the methods, and imbibing the spirit, and adjusting them selves to some of the results of the new criticism. It afiects their preaching and their teaching, if they dare to teach; for many of them Will not teach in their own Sunday schools, explaining privately to one another that they cannot submit to the cross-examination of zealous ignorance. To these men the new criticism has brought questions Which throw all those raised by the creed revision movement into the background. And Professor Briggs has won this constituency by the fact that his fear less scholarship on the one hand, and his unchallenged occupancy of a chair in a Presbyterian theological sem inary on the other, seemed to warrant the confidence that he could solve these questions. His books would have been religiously avoided by many who are now under their spell, had they not felt assured that such as he must be able to reconcile the new scholarship With the old theology. Hence, if there is any doubt of his having done so, he owes it to those of his pupils Who cannot be led off on a false trail by the hue and cry of creed-revision, to resolve that doubt. Such doubt there is, and to it this essay seeks to give definite expression.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the central conflict within the Presbyterian Church in the late 1800s over a movement to revise its doctrinal standards. The revisions were primarily driven by a body of scholars who embraced a new type of biblical scholarship that was predicated on the assumption that the natural order of development was continuous. The author argues that this new scholarship, despite its claims to the contrary, would necessarily result in the displacement of traditional theological beliefs about supernatural intervention in human affairs. Through a detailed analysis of Old Testament Messianic prophecy, the book demonstrates how the leading proponent of this new scholarship, Professor Charles Briggs, effectively naturalized away supernatural events, leaving American Christianity at a crossroads. The book's insights are significant for understanding the ongoing tension between religious faith and scientific inquiry, as well as its potential implications for the future of Christianity itself.
