In this book, Marvin Richardson Vincent confronts what he sees as a threat to the authority of the Bible and the Christian faith: the higher criticism. He argues that this approach to the Bible, which seeks to understand it as a human text subject to historical and literary analysis, is inherently flawed and dangerous. Vincent offers a defense of traditional biblical interpretation that emphasizes the divine inspiration of scripture.
