Radical Criticism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Radical Criticism is a movement around the late 1800s that, typically, tried to show that none of the Pauline epistles are authentic, and that Jesus and the apostles were ahistorical constructions.

The Dutch Radical Critics include A.D. Loman, W.C. van Manen, Gerardus Johannes Petrus Josephus Bolland and G.A. van den Bergh van Eysinga.
