Near Bible Critics

SPEAKING of the influence exerted by some of the mediocre Bible critics, the Word and Way of March 26, 1914, says:—
The near higher critic is more disagreeable and dangerous than the real higher critic. He is more disagreeable because more noisy, cocksure, and arrogant. And more dangerous because more numerous and irresponsible. He has a smattering only of knowledge of the things about which he talks with much show of learning—great swelling words of vanity. To take up with the school of higher criticism, marks him, he fancies, a man of distinction—an intellectual and literary somebody—in the public mind.
