Summary "The Testimony of the Bible Concerning the Assumptions of Destructive Criticism" by S.E. Wishard is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The work addresses criticisms against the authority and authenticity of the Bible, particularly the Old Testament, countering what's referred to as "destructive criticism" that challenges traditional interpretations and assumptions about biblical texts. The author aims to affirm the divine authorship and integrity of the Scriptures, emphasizing the importance of maintaining faith in God's Word against modern skeptical tendencies. The opening of the text outlines Wishard's concern regarding the influence of destructive criticism on believers, particularly younger Christians who may be vulnerable to secular skepticism. Wishard argues for a calm yet firm stance against these critical views, asserting the historical and spiritual validity of the Scriptures. He emphasizes the significance of Moses, Christ, and the apostles' testimony regarding the Bible's authorship, specifically defending the Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch against assertions that it was written long after Moses' time. This foundational perspective sets the stage for Wishard’s subsequent examination of specific biblical texts and the arguments presented by critics, showcasing his commitment to defending the integrity of the Christian faith.
