40. In your notes you have frequently
used the term conservative scholarship.
what does this mean?
Answer. Biblical scholars of our time
are cIassed under two heads. The rad ca s
are those who approach the Scriptures
with preconceived notions drawn from
modern science and philosophy. The by
pothesis of evolution eXerts large in
fiuence with them. They seek 10 interpret
Scripture in a way to harmon re With
these preconceived opinions which they
hold tenaciousIy as settled. The conserva-
tives reject these so-called conclusions as
by no means settled, but, in fact as the
vaearies of materialists and agnostics.
and they hold that the Bible is its own
best Interpreter, that Its words are to he
taken in their most evident sense. part to
he compared with part. Accordingly, they
attach great Importance TO the cAplara-
lions given by the scholars Of other GEN.
turtles admitting. Of course. the light OBJ
tanned from phi oloey and archeol"gN.
The radicals AS rule are destructive and
the conservatives constructive.
