Linnemann brings a refreshing corrector to the many nonsenses of higher criticism/s. Her conversion story (covered partially in her introduction - pages 17-20) is a beautiful example of God's sovereign grace.
The term "Historical Criticism" is really only defined by the translator - page 7. This may be because Historical Criticism is a more well-known term in the German. It does not seem to be the same as "the Historical-Critical Method" which Edgar Krentz writes about in the Fortress Press offering in the "Guides to Biblical Scholarship" series. Rather, it includes all the higher criticisms, such as form and redactional criticism. Textual criticism is an example of lower criticism, which, used honestly and properly, glorifies God because it is aimed at ascertaining what the text of the original languages actually says, rather than dodging the commands of a holy God. Good introductions to Textual Criticism are Clayton Harrop's "History of the New Testament in Plain Language" and D.A. Carson's "The King James Version Debate". The latter is not simply a polemic against the KJV, it is also a very helpful primer on textual criticism. For those who want to get more serious (or who have slightly deeper pockets), Bruce Metzger's "A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament" is indispensable.
There are three reasons why I was lead to this book:
1) It is in the "For Further Reading" section of "Theological Liberalism: A Handful of Pebbles" by Peter Barnes (along with Machen's "Christianity and Liberalism", Murray's "Evangelicalism Divided" and Shaeffer's "The Great Evangelical Disaster". After having read Barnes' excellent book on theological liberalism I decided to work my way through his whole "For Further Reading" section.
2) I enjoyed, Linnemann's "Is there a Synoptic Problem?", which is also translated by Yarbrough.
3) The overall importance and urgency of the subject matter that Linnemann covers.
I thought that the rather lengthy proposal for evangelical learning centres should have been in the latter part of the book, rather than the former. But this is a minor gripe, and the book thoroughly deserves 5 stars.
