Excerpt from The Higher Criticism and the Verdict of the Monuments
I AM well aware that the pages which follow will satisfy neither the higher critics nor their extreme opponents, and that every effort will be made to dispute or minimise the archaeological evidence which they contain. But the great body of the religious public happily consists neither of higher critics nor of uncompromising apologists, and is honestly de sirous of knowing what is' the actual testimony which the marvellous discoveries Of oriental archaology are giving. To the antiquity and historical character of the Old Testament. I have therefore endeavoured as it were to take stock of them, and to indicate the con' elusions to which they point. I have aimed at writing as an archaeologist rather than as a theologian, treat ing the books of the Hebrew Bible as I should any other oriental literature which laid claim to a similar antiquity, and following the archaeological evidence whithersoever it may lead. Whether I have been successful in thus putting aside all those preposses Sions -in favour Of a peculiarly divine origin which an Anglican priest might be expected to feel for the Scriptures Of his Church is for my readers to decide.
