Branch of literary criticism that investigates the origins of ancient text
Historical criticism (also known as the historical-critical method or higher criticism) is a branch of criticism that investigates the origins of ancient texts in order to understand "the world behind the text" and emphasizes a process that "delays any assessment of scripture’s truth and relevance until after the act of interpretation has been carried out".
