Delve into how biblical texts are examined, restored, and understood through careful criticism and archaeology.

This edition, A General Introduction to the Bible, Volume II, surveys Textual Criticism and Higher Criticism, explaining how scholars seek the original readings behind copied texts and the beliefs behind them. It also explores Biblical Archaeology as a key to verifying historical details and the context in which the Bible was written.

Readers will glimpse how critics classify approaches, the questions they ask, and the tools they use to separate language from meaning. The book emphasizes the interplay between manuscript evidence, literary form, and the historical setting of the biblical texts, offering a clear view of both methods and their limits.

How copyists’ errors creep into manuscripts and how editors strive to recover original readings
Different schools of thought in higher criticism and what drives their conclusions
How archaeological discoveries can support or refine biblical narratives
The criteria and approach used to analyze texts, language, and history

Ideal for readers of theology, biblical history, and archaeology who want a practical overview of how biblical criticism works today.
