  Source criticism, as the term is used in biblical criticism, refers to the attempt to establish the sources used by the author and/or redactor of the final text. The term "literary criticism" is occasionally used as a synonym. The ultimate aim of these scholars was to reconstruct the history of the biblical text, as well as the religious history of ancient Israel. In general, the closer a source is to the event which it purports to describe, the more one can trust it to give an accurate description of what really happened.
