Excerpt from Introduction to the Pentateuch, Vol. 1: An Inquiry, Critical and Doctrinal, Into the Genuineness, Authority, and Design of the Mosaic Writings
IT is remarked by Mr. Litton, in his recent Bampton Lecture, that Studies which have for their object the elucidation of Scripture, in any of its leading divisions, seem to be, under present circumstances, peculiarly appropriate.
This is a statement which will be endorsed by all who have given attention to the Theological literature of recent years, and have noticed, with grief or alarm, that the tendency of many of these productions, whatever may have been their design, is manifestly to discredit the Records of Revelation, more particularly the Hebrew Scriptures.
It was partly a conviction of this kind which induced the Author to investigate the claims and character of the Penta teuch, which, more than any other portion of Scripture, has been assailed by all manner of weapons, and even by men, and that, too, in Protestant England,' who, by their office, have been set for the defence of the Gospel.' There was a higher consideration, however, than any merely polemical Object, which recommended this subject, and which, in any circumstances, renders the critical study of the Pentateuch a _matter of the highest importance. This is the necessity of correct views of the character and design of the Mosaic law as bearing on the Gospel itself, and to misapprehension of which is, doubtless, owing not a little of the opposition just referred to, as well as other portions antagonistic of Scriptural doctrine.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This meticulous inquiry into the authenticity of the Torah (five books of Moses) and its authorship stands out as a comprehensive analysis of central issues in religious history. Beginning with an overview of the Torah's profound impact on Judaism, Christianity, and Western civilization, the author goes on to trace the various attacks on its credibility over time. The book then offers a robust scholarly defense of Mosaic authorship, drawing upon both historical and textual evidence, and substantiated by detailed philological analysis. The author also examines objections to the historicity of the Pentateuch, addressing concerns about the portrayal of God and the challenges of harmonizing scientific and religious perspectives. Through rigorous investigation and insightful commentary, this book provides a compelling and timely affirmation of the authenticity and authority of the Torah.
