Form criticism began as an attempt to trace the history of the biblical material before it was written down, and may thus be seen as starting when textual criticism ends.

Form criticism looks for patterns within units of biblical text and attempts to trace their origin based on the patterns.

Form criticism breaks the Bible down into sections ( pericopes, stories ) which are analyzed and categorized by genres ( prose or verse, letters, laws, court archives, war hymns, poems of lament, etc .).

Form criticism is a method of biblical criticism that classifies units of scripture by literary pattern and that attempts to trace each type to its period of oral transmission.

Form criticism seeks to determine a unit's original form and the historical context of the literary tradition.

Form criticism begins by identifying a text's genre or conventional literary form, such as parables, proverbs, epistles, or love poems.

Form criticism was originally developed for Old Testament studies by Hermann Gunkel.
