The term criticism can either be viewed in a negative light as most would expect, but also in a positive light as well. The negative is "a spoken or written opinion or judgment of what is wrong or bad about somebody or something." The positive is simply the assessment of something, be it a car, a house, or more often a written work. In essence, it is a critique, an evaluation, or looking into something to gain more information, with the purpose of having a better understanding. Many view Biblical Criticism in the positive light, as the Bible scholars are simple critiquing, evaluation, or looking into the Bible books to gain more information, to ascertain a better understanding, the truth, be it what we would like to know, or are not happy to know. Something that conservative evangelical Christians would not like to know, would be a statement like, "Matthew, not Jesus, created the Sermon on the Mount." If a form of historical criticism brought this one point to us as actually being the truth of the matter, as opposed to what we have always known to be true, it could be quite a rude awakening, especially when there are hundreds if not thousands of other observations, some more astonishing, some less so, which biblical criticism has stated to be true. We can divide biblical criticism into two areas of study: (1) lower criticism, known best as textual criticism, and (2) higher criticism, also known as historical criticism and biblical criticism. Textual criticism is the study of families of manuscripts, their history, their trustworthiness, the versions, the early church fathers writings, as well as internal evidence within the manuscripts, in order to determine which reading is the original one. Historical criticism on the other hand, is a method of investigation whose resolve is to make discerning judgments about the authorship of a book, the date of its writing, if there is dependency on any other literature, judging the contents, qualities, and techniques, its sources, its historical accuracy, historical and sociological setting, genre, its literary context, structure, form and function, rhetorical techniques, biblical traditions, oral and written, and so much more that it begins to boggle the mind. Textual criticism over the past 450 years has given us a restored text, which allows us to translate and interpret the very Word of God. It has truly been beneficial. Alternatively, historical criticism has opened up Pandora's Box; a real overflow of pseudo-scholarly methods of biblical study where the end result has been the disheartenment of tens of thousands of Christians, who have suffered spiritual shipwreck as a result of losing faith in the Bible.

This Guide for the Perplexed will demonstrate how modern biblical scholars have expressed dissatisfaction with a one-sided historical-critical approach to biblical texts and have argued that developments in secular literary theory should be applied in biblical studies. Whereas the historical-critical approach was concerned with the moment of a text's production (authorship, date, place of writing etc), the literary approach is concerned with the moment of the text's reception. Eryl W. Davies shows how and why approaches such as 'reader-response criticism', 'feminist criticism', 'ideological criticism', 'canonical criticism' and 'post-colonial criticism' are now becoming more popular in many quarters. The volume explains to the uninitiated in a readable and accessible form how strategies originally derived from secular literary criticism have been adopted by biblical scholars in order to understand the text of Scripture and to appreciate its relevance.

Biblical criticism faces increasing hostility on two fronts: from biblical conservatives, who claim it is inherently positivistic and religiously skeptical, and from postmodernists, who see it as driven by the falsities of objectivity and neutrality. In this magisterial overview of the key factors and developments in biblical studies, John Barton demonstrates that these evaluations of biblical criticism fail to do justice to the work that has been done by critical scholars over many generations. Traditional biblical criticism has had as its central concern a semantic interest: a desire to establish the "plain sense" of the biblical text, which in itself requires sensitivity to many literary aspects of texts. Therefore, he argues, biblical criticism already includes many of the methodological approaches now being recommended as alternatives to it and, further, the agenda of biblical studies is far less fragmented than often thought.
