On 7/23/2013 11:30 PM, Micha Berger [quoted the article under discussion]:
>      As I began my studies, I started to learn Tanakh with the
>      historical-critical approach. As I deepened my facility with this
>      methodology, I realized that I was constantly engaged in apologetics
>      with myself, subscribing to readings of texts and theories that I
>      would not be included to subscribe to if it were any other subject
>      and if my beliefs were not at stake.

This story demonstrates EXACTLY why Rav Lichtenstein says that people 
simply shouldn't go there (meaning reading Biblical Criticism).

Is that our only recourse?
