Historical Criticism (3 of 4 notes)

Part One
INTRODUCTION: 5 CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Biblical Criticism will be enlarged upon under the heading of Bibliology, but suffice it here to say that the school of Higher Criticism fell into the control of men who did approach the Bible on the basis that nothing supernatural could happen, and with all of their boasted scholarship proved to their own satisfaction that the supernatural elements of the Bible had to be ruled out. They denied the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. They dated the prophetic books much later than the traditional dates in order to nullify the predictive element in them. They placed the priestly code (Leviticus) after the Babylonian captivity. Baur developed the theory that two antagonistic parties developed in the New Testament Church, headed by Peter and Paul respectively, and that the Acts was written a century later to try to palliate the differences. Only four of Paul’s epistles were regarded as genuine and John was dated about 170 A.D.
