Shortcomings of Prof. Milton S. Terry presents a pointed critique of the Higher Criticism and its impact on theological teaching.
It argues that the criticism undermines core beliefs about Jesus and the Bible, and it challenges Professor Terry’s defense of liberal approaches in Methodist education.
The book surveys the clash between traditional evangelical truths and modern biblical criticism. It condemns what it calls a dangerous “full liberty” to teach controversial methods in church-run schools, and it calls for strong adherence to Scripture as the church’s guide.
- Exposes how Higher Criticism is described as destructive to faith and church authority.
- Explains the author’s view of Jesus as sinless and trustworthy, contrasted with critical interpretations.
- critiques instructional liberty in seminaries and its effect on future ministers.
- Argues for preserving doctrinal clarity in church education and practice.
Ideal for readers of faith-based debates about scripture, church authority, and the future of theological education.
