J. W. McGarvey's Short Essays in Biblical Criticism: Essay 189. George Adam Smith, and critics of his school, are a little too fast in finding "horrible words clothing a horrible spirit" in the lips of Old Testament characters; and he and his colaborers are also too quick in canceling passages in the Old Testament which do not harmonize with their conjectures. George Adam Smith, however, has called attention to the fact that these horrible words, clothing a horrible spirit, are probably not the words of David. In view of all the evidence, Dr. Smith says of this passage: "We have much reason to let it go, and, letting it go, we remove from the most interesting of Old Testament stories of character, a termination which saddens every charm and blights every promise revealed by its previous progress." www.mun.ca /rels/restmov/texts/jwmcgarvey/sebc/SEBC189.HTM   (1149 words)

Quodlibet Online Journal: The Church in Scotland 1840-1940: An Overview George Adam Smith and others would probably argue to the contrary: that it was the new view of the Bible, particularly a new view of prophetic ministry and of the emphasis of Christ's own teaching, that gave impetus and birth to the new social conscience of the Church.
