  Biblical historical-criticism is an exegetical approach to study that is mainly concerned with the factual evidence of the culture in which the text originated. Those who utilize this type of criticism attempt to understand the text in light of the society which produced the text. The issue of Divine authorship is excluded from historical-criticism. Scientific understanding replaced traditional interpretations of the scripture.
  The first person to publicly utilize historical-criticism was Richard Simon in 1678. This approach relied on a scientific approach to Biblical understanding that was void of theological interpretation. Historical-criticism was a manifestation of the Enlightenment and was further developed in the 19th century as Rationalism became the major trend in philosophy.
  Major representatives of this movement include: Richard Simon, Hermann Gunkel, Julius Wellhausen, Ernst Troeltsch,
