Errors of Modern Criticism
The material for this presentation is drawn from the author's own extensive private library as well as from many important theological libraries in the U.S.A., Canada, and England. The modern versions (ASV, RSV, NASV, NIV, etc.) are based on the "science" of modern textual criticism which was developed in the 19th century and resulted in the English Revised Version of 1881.
This two-part presentation exposes some of the chief errors of the “science” of textual criticism. We cover the following four points: First, modern textual criticism ignores the supernatural character of the Bible. Second, modern textual criticism ignores Satan’s attack on the Bible. Third, modern textual criticism ignores God’s promise of preservation. Fourth, modern textual criticism ignores the preeminence of faith.
We trace the history of textual criticism back to its roots in the early part of the 19th century and expose the intimate association of textual criticism with theological modernism and Unitarianism. We look at the principles of textual criticism and then at the theology of the most influential names in textual criticism from the past 200 years, including Johann Bengel, Karl Lachmann, Johann Griesbach, B.F. Westcott, F.J.A. Hort, Philip Schaff, George Vance Smith, Ezra Abbot, Joseph Thayer, Caspar Rene Gregory, and the editors of the United Bible Societies Greek New Testament, Carlo Martini, Kurt Aland, and Bruce Metzger.
We show that modern textual criticism is not established from the principle of faith and therefore is wrong upon its very head.
