Présentation de l'éditeur

Old Testament critics from the beginning of the critical movement to the present day, with an attempt in each case to estimate the services of the subject of the picture. It is hoped that it may be not only interesting but instructive, and may-tend to remove some current mistakes and misconceptions. Let me mention a few of these. Criticism, it is said by some, is a recent invention ;it is arrogant to pretend that it has reached any final or even approximate results. Criticism, say others, is of purely German origin; it is foplish to import what has no roots in our own mental history. Criticism, says yet another school of writers, is purely rationalistic; it has no interest in, and can be of no considerable service to, positive theological truth. Criticism, say a few other respected but isolated observers, is narrow in its methods; it goes on grinding for ever at the same mill, and needs an almost complete reconstruction.
