The Bible and the Child: The Higher Criticism and the Teaching of the Young is a book written by Frederic William Farrar and published in 1897. In this book, Farrar discusses the importance of teaching children about the Bible and how to approach it critically. He argues that children should be taught about the historical context of the Bible and the various literary genres it contains, such as poetry, history, and prophecy.Farrar also addresses the controversy surrounding the higher criticism of the Bible, which was a movement in the late 19th century that sought to understand the Bible through historical and literary analysis. He argues that the higher criticism can be a valuable tool for understanding the Bible, but that it should be approached carefully and with a respect for the text's religious significance.Throughout the book, Farrar emphasizes the importance of teaching children about the Bible in a way that is both intellectually rigorous and spiritually meaningful. He offers practical advice for parents and educators on how to teach children about the Bible, including the use of storytelling, discussion, and critical thinking exercises.Overall, The Bible and the Child is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the relationship between children and the Bible, and the ways in which this relationship can be nurtured and developed.Also Authored By Walter F.
