How do you feel about contemporary Biblical Criticism?
The major types of biblical criticism are:
(1) textual criticism, which is concerned with establishing the original or most authoritative text
(2) philological criticism, which is the study of the biblical languages for an accurate knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, and style of the period
(3) literary criticism, which focuses on the various literary genres embedded in the text in order to uncover evidence concerning date of composition, authorship, and original function of the various types of writing that constitute the Bible
(4) tradition criticism, which attempts to trace the development of the oral traditions that preceded written texts
(5) form criticism, which classifies the written material according to the preliterary forms, such as parable or hymn.

I find it helpful as well as challenging. Sometimes even challenging to my faith. I do not see Britannica listing Historical criticism which is one of my favorites along with philological criticism.
