Pseudo-Criticism: Or the Higher Criticism and Its Counterfeit (1904)

Pseudo-Criticism: Or The Higher Criticism And Its Counterfeit is a book written by Robert Anderson in 1904. The book explores the concept of higher criticism, which is a method of biblical interpretation that seeks to understand the historical and cultural context of the text. However, Anderson argues that there is a counterfeit version of higher criticism, which he calls pseudo-criticism. This form of criticism, according to Anderson, is characterized by a lack of objectivity and a tendency to reject traditional interpretations of the Bible without sufficient evidence. Anderson provides a historical overview of the development of higher criticism and the controversies that have surrounded it. He also critiques the arguments of prominent pseudo-critics, such as Friedrich Nietzsche and David Friedrich Strauss. Anderson argues that pseudo-criticism is not a legitimate form of biblical interpretation and that it undermines the authority of the Bible as a religious text. Overall, Pseudo-Criticism: Or The Higher Criticism And Its Counterfeit is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider the role of interpretation in religious texts. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of biblical criticism and the debates surrounding it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
