4.9/5 (17015 ratings)

Description:From the PREFACE. THE Right Rev. D. S. Tuttle, Bishop of Missouri, in delivering a sermon before a body of theological students on "How to make the people contribute liberally towards the support of the Church," remarked: "You must milk the cows! The more and the oftener you milk them, the more milk they will give." Although somewhat vulgar, yet the simile fits the case exactly. The same is true of the study of the Bible. The more we study it, the more we draw from it, the more it will yield: milk of life, -both for the soul and the brain! The same idea was also expressed by Dr. Martin Luther who compared the Bible to a beautiful and fruitful tree. The more and the oftener we pluck its fruit, the more it will give us. But not everybody knows "how to milk," nor does everybody know "how to pluck the fruits." If done carelessly and thoughtlessly, the "milking" as well as the "plucking of the fruit" may become dangerous, -we may fall from the tree! If there are some who thus fell from the tree while trying to pluck its fruit, who will dare to say that it was the tree's fault that "the plucker" fell down? Was it not, on the contrary, the plucker's own carelessness, his own fault? Exactly so it is with the "Higher Criticism." Higher criticism, if thoughtlessly and carelessly applied to the Bible, will and must be hurtful: not for the Bible, however, -for it will remain undaunted, -but for him who aspires to be a "higher critic." And how many there are who want to be what they cannot be: higher critics! A true higher critic's aim is not to destroy the Bible, but to Understand it, -understand it historically. Thus he will apply the higher critical methods as given by "history." In history the divine will is carried out. The Bible when thus "read in the light of history" will yield fruits of which nobody ever dreamed, -fruits ripened in ages past and saved for our present times to gather....We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
