BIBLE TRANSLATION MAGAZINE: All Things Bible Translation (September 2012)
SPECIAL EDITION

We can divide biblical criticism into two areas of study: (1) lower criticism, known best as textual criticism, and (2) higher criticism, also known as historical criticism and biblical criticism. Textual criticism is the study of families of manuscripts, their history, their trustworthiness, the versions, the early church fathers writings, as well as internal evidence within the manuscripts, in order to determine which reading is the original one. Historical criticism on the other hand, is a method of investigation whose resolve is to make discerning judgments about the authorship of a book, the date of its writing, if there is dependency on any other literature, judging the contents, qualities, and techniques, its sources, its historical accuracy, historical and sociological setting, genre, its literary context, structure, form and function, rhetorical techniques, biblical traditions, oral and written, and so much more that it begins to boggle the mind.

Textual criticism over the past 450 years has given us a restored text, which allows us to translate and interpret the very Word of God. It has truly been beneficial. Alternatively, historical criticism has opened up Pandora’s Box; a real overflow of pseudo-scholarly methods of biblical study where the end result has been the disheartenment of tens of thousands of Christians, who have suffered spiritual shipwreck as a result of losing faith in the Bible.
