Some Christians are suspicious of biblical criticism . They are especially suspicious of biblical criticism which suggests that they might have to give up their claim to having exclusive truth based on the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus. They do not like any suggestion of scholarship or criticism that might challenge their view of Jesus.
Theirs is a limited, blinkered view, relying on dogmatic assertions that do not always hold up to careful study and criticism .
