On Becoming Blind: Advice for the Use of Persons Losing Their Sight (1905)

This book is a critical response to From the Mind of God to the Mind of Man. It is organized in Chapters that correspond to the book being evaluated. Quotes from it are followed by corresponding Comments by the writer/compiler of this work. From the Mind of God to the Mind of Man deserves a lot of criticism. The authors have undertaken to form a Committee that is a self-proclaimed authority on the subject of Textual Criticism. However, the research and reasoning behind its arguments fall far short of good scholarship. The writers have not taken into account the scholarly works of Dean John William Burgon. Therefore, the late Mr. Burgon is quoted extensively in relation to their statements concerning Westcott and Hort’s ‘canons’ of Textual Criticism.
