First of all, it is important to recognise that the term 'criticism', as in critical scholarship does not imply opposition or disagreement. In this context, criticism is the careful, objective analysis of the texts and their background. A very active area in modern scholarship is called hermeneutics, the study of interpretation, or the quest for meaning. This study employs various approaches to written documents, each called a "criticism": Textual Criticism, Historical Criticism and Source Criticism.
