Book Description

Excerpt from The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua in the Light of the Science and Moral Sense of Our Age: A Complement to All Criticisms of the Text With every wish to find the Bible all it is commonly said to be, against the persuasions of earlier years, and near the end of a long life, the writer feels bound to own that a somewhat careful study of so much of the Hebrew Scriptures as falls within the limits of the Pentateuch and Book of Joshua leaves him with the conviction that this portion of the Bible, at least, is not any Word of God, gives no true account of God's dealings with the world, and enjoins little or nothing that is calculated to edify or to raise man in the scale of his proper humanity.
