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.
