Scripture Study Scholarship PDF Download

Excerpt from The Old Testament and the New Scholarship To consider all the Old Testament problems which are, at the present moment, calling for solution would be far too large a field for one small volume. My effort has been to set before the reader first of all the fundamental problems involved in the acceptance of the Old Testament as Sacred Scripture, and in this part of the work I have been obliged to consider to some extent the New Testament also, since New and Old are inextricably bound together. To these fundamental problems - how the Bible has been and should be treated, what is to be understood by the inspiration of the Sacred Scriptures, the teaching of the Church with regard to those Scriptures, and the application of the doctrine of the Incarnation to the study of the written Word - I have devoted the first of the four parts of which this volume is composed. In the second part I have endeavoured to trace briefly the history of that thought-development which has resulted in the modern methods of Bible study, commonly, but erroneously, called "Higher Criticism, and to show more particularly how the application of the principles of evolution and comparison has affected our view of the history of the religion of Israel. In the third part I have attempted to give an illustration of modern methods of Bible study in general by a particular application in the case of one book - Psalms.
