Excerpt from Conscience and CriticismThe particular subject of controversy which now stirs thoughts and desires of this kind goes by the name of Higher Criticism. We have come to a time when religious people are beginning - but, in general, only beginning - to understand that such criticism is not always intentionally hostile to Christianity. They still believe, however, that in its own nature it undermines Christian security.It is true that those who handle the new facts of advancing knowledge in a manner to produce this impression, with the definite purpose of over throwing the Faith, may do so successfully in proportion as the real grounds of Religion are suffered to lie in obscurity. But when these are brought into prominence, and the relation of Knowledge to Faith is understood, the power of the attack harmlessly evaporates.There certainly should be no real division of interest amongst those who equally love the Bible because it conveys the highest message we possess of the Love of God. The division which exists among such is not really at the heart of the matter, -and it may be something if explanation can at least advance the belief that Christian critics are not traitors. They are searchers, who are endeavouring to give us the fullest possession of the Word of God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
