Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from That Monster the Higher Critic
The story very well illustrates one aspect of the popular attitude towards Biblical criticism. Upon the settled faith and tranquil content of a large body of Christians, breaks the cry, The higher criticism has broken loose! It is charging, head on, with smoking nostrils, against the Bible! It means destruction to the faith once delivered to the saints. Meanwhile few stop to ask, What is higher criticism, anyway? The majority run; that is, they evade the question with some such irrelevant platitude as The old Bible is good enough for me. A few more determined souls, never for a moment doubting that higher criticism, whatever it may mean, is something deadly, set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, and solemnly affirm that Higher Criticism must be exterminated and the higher critics suppressed.
