Description
Thomas Cheyne and John Sutherland Black edited the Encyclopaedia Biblica, whose first volume appeared in 1899, covering A to D. It was the critical answer to Hastings: a dictionary of the Bible built on the higher criticism. Scholars from many countries contributed.
Articles treat the literary, political, and religious history of the Bible, plus its archaeology, geography, and natural history. The writers question old dates and authorships with cool, learned rigor. Church readers found some of it shocking; scholars found it thrilling. The work became a landmark of critical Bible study, and its boldness still startles today.
