Synopsis

Questioning the rise of high‑level biblical criticism and what it means for faith today. This authoritative study examines the aims, methods, and assumptions of the modern critics who challenge traditional views of the Old Testament. It asks whether their theories can stand up to careful, fair evaluation and what that means for church life and belief.

The work lays out the controversy clearly: what the critics say, what supporters claim, and where the arguments leave believers. It frames the discussion around the supernatural, the trustworthiness of scripture, and the implications for how Christians read the Bible in contemporary times. The book invites readers to weigh evidence, consider consequences, and decide how to proceed with honesty and caution.

• Defines the major positions of higher criticism and the questions they raise about the Old Testament.


• Explains the debate over miracles, prophecy, and the supernatural in a way accessible to non‑specialists.


• Offers a critical look at how the church should respond when faced with challenging scholarly theories.


• Addresses practical consequences for faith, doctrine, and public life.

Ideal for readers of religious history, theology, and thoughtful believers seeking a careful, measured view of a long-standing scholarly debate.
