A Struggle for Life (Classic Reprint): Higher Criticism Criticised: Higher Criticism Criticised (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book delves into the contested intellectual battle over belief and unbelief concerning sacred texts and their origins. The author, an avowed opponent of Higher Criticism, challenges the methods and work of the movement, arguing that they undermine the very notion of Divine authorship and scriptural authority. Carefully examining the foundations of the Higher Critical theory, the book reveals how its conclusions rest not on factual evidence but on debatable assumptions and dogmatism. The author traces the origins of Higher Criticism back to English Deism of the seventeenth century, showing how it evolved through French and German rationalism and inherited skepticism from each phase, resulting in a wholesale rejection of the Bible's historical and spiritual truth. The book explores the far -reaching implications of this theory, including the erosion of faith and the redefinition of the Christian faith itself. Ultimately, it argues for the enduring validity of the Bible, emphasizing that the insights of Higher Criticism fail to account for the transformative power of scripture.
