Higher Criticism is a tendency within liberals and others that interpret the Word of God towards human rational explanations instead of accepting the miraculous obvious presentation of Scripture. This tendency also extends to attacking the proposed biblical authors of Scripture, typically moving prophecies to dates after their prophecy making them history presented as prophecy, and other such maneuvers to remove the miraculous or offensive (to their way of thinking) in the Bible so that their version of Christianity is less offensive.
