Book cover

The Testimony of the Bible Concerning the Assumptions of Destructive Criticism by S. E. Wishard is a gripping examination of the challenges posed by destructive criticism to the fundamental tenets of biblical interpretation. Wishard presents a well-structured analysis that explores the assumptions made by this school of thought and systematically dismantles them with evidence and logical reasoning.

Wishard's writing style is both engaging and accessible, making complex theological concepts comprehensible to readers from various backgrounds. He starts by outlining the primary concerns of destructive criticism, which seek to cast doubt on the authenticity, accuracy, and divine inspiration of the Bible. Through rigorous research and thoughtful arguments, he counters these assumptions, defending the biblical text's credibility and reliability.

One of the strengths of this book lies in the author's approach to addressing specific examples often cited by destructive critics. Wishard meticulously examines alleged inconsistencies, contradictions, and historical inaccuracies in the Bible, providing a thorough analysis that refutes these claims. By exploring various branches of critical theory, he offers readers a comprehensive understanding of the arguments against biblical integrity and provides robust rebuttals backed by historical evidence.

Furthermore, Wishard delves into the historical background of the Bible, shedding light on its writing processes, authors, and preservation over centuries. His research highlights the innumerable instances where archaeology, ancient manuscripts, and intra-biblical references corroborate the Bible's truthfulness. Through engaging prose, he effectively communicates how the Bible consistently proves its own authenticity, pushing back against any attempts to denigrate its value.

Despite the book's strong theological focus, non-religious readers can also appreciate Wishard's meticulous approach to challenging destructive criticism. He presents a balanced exploration of differing viewpoints and acknowledges areas where legitimate criticism can be applied, without undermining his overall argument. This measured approach lends credibility to his assertions and ensures the book appeals to a broader audience.

In conclusion, The Testimony of the Bible Concerning the Assumptions of Destructive Criticism by S. E. Wishard is an exceptional piece of scholarship that successfully confronts the challenges posed by destructive criticism. Wishard's extensive research, systematic analysis, and persuasive arguments provide a solid defense of the Bible's reliability and authenticity. This book is a valuable resource for theologians, scholars, and lay readers seeking a well-reasoned response to criticisms against the Bible, fostering a deeper understanding of its enduring value.

FOREWORD.

This booklet is sent out To all Sabbath school teachers, To the young people of the Christian churches, And to all believers in the living Word .

The work of the destructive critics has been widely disseminated in current literature. Magazines, secular newspapers, and some religious papers are giving currency to these critical attacks on the Word of God. The young people of our churches are exposed to the insidious poison of this skepticism. It comes to them under the guise of a broader and more liberal scholarship. They have neither the time nor the equipment to enter the field of criticism, nor is this work demanded of them.

While abler pens are meeting and answering the questions raised by destructive critics, something may be said that will clear away the fog produced by them and enable young Christians to come directly to the truth... Continue reading book >>
