Any one of the
above statements, concluding with the words of Christ, could be used to prove
that God never commanded sacrifices and burnt offerings, or to prove that the
priestly code of the Old Testament must have been written after the Gospels,
since Christ stated that God would not have sacrifices. This much space has
been taken on just one tenet of the school of higher criticism to show how the
theory works and how easily most of its arguments may be answered. The student
who desires to look more closely at the ramifications of higher criticism is
referred to articles on Criticism of the Bible by James Orr, and the Pentateuch
by Harold M. Wiener in the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia.
