At the same time we can see into what an irreconcilable inconsistency every Protestant Church falls, when, owning itself fallible, it seeks to corrects its human falli- billity by proclaiming as its fundamental dogma the external infallibility of the biblical canon which it has itself constituted. In the light of history the books in their turn take on a new signifi- cation. The historic method applies to them the process and rules of interpretation which have everywhere else been accepted. It ...starts from the principle that every literary production belongs to its time and sur- roundings, and can be understood only by being restored to them. It is not a question of misconceiving or doubting the originality or inspira- tion of these writers, but of determining the intellectual and social hori*- zon, the circle of ideas, the series of different circumstances, which con- ditioned their first appearance and consequently explain their special character and true bearing. Considered from this point of view the old Hebrew literature no longer hangs in the air, a series of miraculously given oracles.
