This episode concludes the direct critique of the historical-critical method as employed by non-confessing scholars before moving on to questions more directly related to Scripture and spirituality. It looks at literary criticism through the lens of C. S. Lewis's "Fern Seed and Elephants" –– noting that Lewis was perhaps the world's greatest expert in literary criticism. It also maintains that literary criticism along with the whole historical-critical method is fatally flawed in that it can never know all the variables, including that of pure accident, that need to be accounted for in any given study.
