Excerpt from A Guidebook to the Biblical Literature Controversies warrantable enough, perhaps, to myopic human nature, but generally reducible; for all their solemn sincerity, to some phase of smallness or one-sidedness. Yet, even so, they are1not to be scorned; there are shreds of truth at the bottom of them; but neither are they to be emulated. The truth that is in them may be found, I am sure, in some more tolerant way, some way more consistent with comity of spirit and aim. But to find it one must ascend must reach some point above, where the tangled lines meet and unite. The Biblical literature, after all, does make for plain ness, simplicity, unity; it requires only that one shall hnd the master-key and consistently use it. This is why, as inti mated above, I desiderate a fair and free point of view. Fair, I mean, to all sides, all moods, all constituent factors.
