Robert Dick Wilson (February 4, 1856 - October 11, 1930) was an American linguist and Presbyterian scholar who made major contributions in verifying the reliability of the Hebrew Bible. In his quest to determine the accuracy of the original manuscripts, Wilson eventually learned 45 languages, including Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, as well as all the languages into which the Scriptures had been translated up to 600 AD.

Book Description
Robert Dick Wilson (4 February 1856 - 11 October 1930) was one of the most educated and accomplished scholars of his time, in the study of the Old Testament, and wrote several books. He opposed the "Higher Criticism" of the Old Testament. He could read the New Testament in nine languages, and graduated from Princeton at age 20. He eventually knew 45 languages and dialects. This book was originally published in two parts; one was a discussion of lower criticism titled: The Lower Criticism of the Old Testament as a Preparation for the Higher Criticism. It is actually an address by the author upon his receiving the post of Professor of Semitic Philology and Biblical Criticism at Princeton, in May of 1900. It also includes a charge, or commission, to Rev. Wilson by Rev. Marcus A. Brownson, D.D. The second part is a short book called, Is the Higher Criticism Scholarly? He explains the claims made by others, and proves them false, of there being major problems with the Old Testament. Footnotes appear after each paragraph, since there are no pages in eBooks.

Cutting Jesus Down to Size
Author: George Albert WellsPublisher: Open Court
ISBN: 0812698673
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
In this provocative book, noted scholar G. A. Wells tells the story of Higher Criticism: the close study of the scriptures that reveals difficulties and discrepancies. Wells traces the discipline’s German beginnings, exploring the problems in the New Testament that prompted scholars to revise traditional theories of the scriptures’ origins. Wells then traces the development and reception of these views from the 18th century to today. Drawing on current biblical scholarship, Wells explains how the Jesus of Paul’s epistles differs radically from later versions and addresses conservative Christians’ attempts to reconcile them. He carefully analyzes what the New Testament says about miracles, the Virgin Birth, the Nativity, Jesus’ conflicting genealogies, the Resurrection, the post-Resurrection appearances, and the failed prophecies of imminent apocalypse. Wells persuasively profiles the New Testament as a fascinating but flawed collection of incompatible viewpoints, revealing Jesus as a shifting, ambiguous, legendary figure who reflected the evolving teachings of a fragmented, emotion-based cultic movement.

Many introductions to biblical studies describe critical approaches, but they do not discuss the theological implications. This timely resource discusses the relationship between historical criticism and Christian theology to encourage evangelical engagement with historical-critical scholarship. Charting a middle course between wholesale rejection and unreflective embrace, the book introduces evangelicals to a way of understanding and using historical-critical scholarship that doesn't compromise Christian orthodoxy. The book covers eight of the most hotly contested areas of debate in biblical studies, helping readers work out how to square historical criticism with their beliefs.
