External criticism is a process by which historians determine whether a source is authentic by checking the validity of the source. Internal criticism looks at the reliability of an authenticated source after it has been subjected to external criticism.

External criticism:

  • External criticism, which is also known as lower criticism, is a tool used by historians and exegetes to determine the validity of a document, particularly a document with some sort of historical significance.

Internal Criticism:

  • Internal criticism is applied to check the credibility of the document whether the contents given in it are believable or not.
