Critics of the Bible : 1724-1873
This is the only available collection of biblical criticism from this period. The process whereby the 'Holy Scriptures' became the object of human critique independent of church control, is illustrated in the present volume with excerpts from such famous critics as Coleridge, Bake and Matthew Arnold, as well as Collins and Deist and Bishop Sherlock.
