Excerpt from Criticism of the New Testament: St. Margaret's Lecture The condition of sound interpretation of Scripture is honest and thorough criticism. Ultimately all our theological and ecclesiastical discussions turn on the treatment of the sacred text, and it is beyond question that within the last two generations the traditional treatment has been to an extent which is difficult to exaggerate disallowed. Much of our standard theological literature is practically worthless because based on a discarded exegesis, and it is humiliating to reflect that much current preaching and teaching of religion is only tolerated because the religious public remains extraordinarily ignorant of the assured results of Biblical Science. In the prevailing ignorance unwarrantable fears invade the general mind, and create a panic-stricken prejudice against critical studies, eminently favourable to that resuscitation of fanaticism which is one of the most curious and melancholy characteristics of our time.
