The Newer Criticism And The Analogy Of The Faith

The book ""The Newer Criticism And The Analogy Of The Faith: A Reply To Lectures By W. Robertson Smith On The Old Testament In The Jewish Church"" was written by Robert Watts and was published in 1882. The book is a response to lectures given by W. Robertson Smith on the Old Testament in the Jewish Church. The lectures were part of a controversy surrounding the higher criticism of the Bible, which challenged traditional views of biblical authorship and interpretation. Watts argues that the newer criticism, which was gaining popularity at the time, was not consistent with the analogy of the faith, or the overall teachings of Christianity. He believes that the newer criticism undermines the authority and inspiration of the Bible and leads to a loss of faith. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes detailed analysis of Smith's lectures and the issues surrounding the higher criticism of the Bible. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of biblical interpretation and the controversy surrounding the higher criticism of the Bible in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
