Synopsis

This book engages with an ongoing debate in Christian theology over the authority of the Old Testament in light of the Higher Criticism, the critical analysis of the Old Testament that challenges its traditional authorship and accuracy. The author contends that the Higher Criticism is a legitimate method of inquiry, essential to understanding the Old Testament. By employing comparison and inference, the Higher Criticism can determine the age, authorship, and reliability of the Old Testament's various books. The Higher Criticism reveals the Old Testament as a complex and composite literary work that emerged and was revised gradually over time. This book emphasizes that despite these challenges to traditional views, the Old Testament remains a vital and authoritative text. It provides a comprehensive examination of the main issues in the Higher Criticism debate, offering a nuanced and balanced perspective that respects both critical inquiry and the enduring value of the Old Testament.
