The Journal of Higher Criticism (JHC) was an academic journal presenting "articles dealing with historical, literary, and history-of-religion issues from the perspective of higher criticism", published by the Institute for Higher Critical Studies. The editor-in-chief was Robert M. Price.[1]
In the introductory article, the editor criticised modern biblical scholarship as "a toothless tiger or worse yet, covert apologetics wearing the Esau-mask of criticism" and advocated a return to the "golden era of bold hypotheses and daring reconstructions associated with the great names of Baur and Tübingen".[2]
During the journal's first decade, it was sponsored by The Theological School at Drew University. Some notable contributors included Richard Carrier, Barbara Thiering, Earl Doherty, Robert Eisenman, Jacob Neusner, and George Albert Wells. The final issue of the journal (Volume 10, No. 2) appeared in Fall, 2003.[3]
