Excerpt from Encyclopedia Biblica, Vol. 4: A Critical Dictionary of the Literary, Political and Religious History, the Archaeology, Geography and Natural History of the Bible; Q to Z Freedom has also been used in taking some fresh departures, especially in two directions viz., in that of textual criticism of the Old Testament, and in that of biblical archaeology. The object of the editors has been, with the assistance of their contributors, not only to bring the work up to the level of the best published writings, but, wherever possible, to carry the subjects a little beyond the point hitherto reached in print. Without the constant necessity of investi gating the details of the text of the Old Testament, it would be hard for any one to realise the precarious character of many details of the current biblical archae ology, geography, and natural history, and even of some not unimportant points in the current Old Testament theology. Entirely new methods have not indeed been applied; but the methods already known have perhaps been applied with somewhat more consistency than before. With regard to archaeology, such a claim can be advanced only to a slight extent. More progress perhaps has been made of late years in the field of critical archteology than in that of textual criti cism. All, therefore, that was generally necessary was to make a strong effort to keep abreast of recent archaeological research both in Old Testament and in New Testament study. The fulness of detail with which the data of the Versions have been given may provoke some comment. Experience has been the guide of the editors, and they believe that, though in the future it will be possible to give these data in a more correct, more critical, and more condensed form, the student is best served at present by being supplied as fully as possible with the available material. It may also be doubted by some whether there is not too much philology. Here, again, experience has directed the course to be pursued. In the present transi tional stage of lexicography, it would have been undesirable to rest content with simply referring to the valuable new lexicons which are now appearing, or have already appeared.
