The '''historical-critical method of Bible interpretation''' is also called '''“Higher Criticism”''', an academic term, used in a purely special or technical sense, for the study of the literary methods and sources discernible in a text, especially as applied to Biblical writings. It is used in contrast to the phrase, “Lower Criticism.” Its purpose is not according to the ordinary meaning of the word to criticise or find fault, but more precisely in Biblical Studies the word "criticism" means examination and analyses in depth, to determine its critical meaning.
