Book Description
Excerpt from The Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch The Higher Criticism has been of late so associated with extravagant theorizing, and with insidious attacks upon the genuineness and credibility of the books of the Bible that the very term has become an offence to serious minds. It has come to be considered one of the most dangerous forms of infidelity, and in its very nature hostile to revealed truth. And it must be confessed that in the hands of those who are unfriendly to supernatural religion it has proved a potent weapon in the interest of unbelief. Nor has the use made of it by those who, while claiming to be evangelical critics, accept and defend the revolutionary conclusions of the antisupernaturalists, tended to remove the discredit into which it has fallen. This is not the fault of the Higher Criticism in its genuine sense, however, but of its perversion. Properly speaking it is an inquiry into the origin and character of the writings to which it is applied. It seeks to ascertain by all available means the authors by whom, the time at which, the circumstances under which, and the design with which they were produced. Such investigations, rightly conducted, must prove a most important aid to the understanding and just appreciation of the writings in question. The books of the Bible have nothing to fear from such investigations, however searching and thorough, and however fearlessly pursued.

Excerpt from The Higher Criticism in Relation to the Pentateuch It is a most important feature of his work that he recognises in all his thought that Moses was not a mere man of letters or historian, with leisure to devote to a work of literature, but a lawgiver and statesman, whose writing was subordinate to, and a means of aiding his daily and hourly task of leading and training a nation emerging from slavery, and of fitting them to deserve their position as the Chosen People. They were the Chosen People, because they proved able to produce the long succession of leaders and judges and prophets who distinguish and elevate Hebrew history. Moses made them so.

Pages : 340
Book Description
Excerpt from The Authorship of the Book of Deuteronomy: With Its Bearings on the Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch If an apology were needed for calling in question the conclusion of those scholars who deny that Moses was the author of the Book of Deuteronomy, it is furnished by these scholar themselves. They constantly insist that men of thought should hold their most cherished convictions subject to revision. They denounce as unreasoning traditionalists those who, rejecting further investigation, cling tenaciously to old beliefs. They are the last men, therefore, who should object to any fresh re-examination of their own conclusions. They would thus be imitating those whose unwillingness to hear them excites their displeasure. In no conclusion are these scholars more confident than in the one just mentioned; and if I shall appear to them exceedingly rash in publishing at this late date an attempt to show that it is erroneous, they are still bound by their own principles not to condemn me without a hearing. If I shall not advance anything new, I may at least place old arguments and evidences in a form somewhat new; and I may be able to point cut some defects in their work that have hitherto escaped their notice. I have a right, therefore, to expect among the most interested and appreciative of my readers those whose opinions I am constrained to combat - provided only that my work shall prove worthy the attention of serious men. I did not enter upon it hastily, but after an earnest study of the whole field of controversy for many years. The process by which the scholars referred to in the preceding section have reached their conclusions, is commonly styled The Higher Criticism.
