Excerpt from The Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch

Hexateuch. For this reason he presents to the public the result of his studies so far as they have gone. The only reason for any further delay in publication would be to make the evidence for his conclusions more com prehensive, more exhaustive, and entirely complete. But he is assured that the evidence is already so varied and comprehensive that there can be no reasonable doubt as to the answers which must be given to the chief questions which arise in the Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch.

The author has been engaged for many years in the study of this subject, since first he began original work upon it, in the University of Berlin, in 1866, under the instruction of Hengstenberg. He has advanced steadily and slowly, by constant revision and rectification of his Opinions, until he has attained the results stated in this volume. He is glad that he is able to say that these results correspond in the main with the opinions which have been formed independently by leading Biblical scholars in all parts of the world.

The book has been written for the general public, rather than for Hebrew students. Accordingly the text has been made as free from technical matters as possi ble, and a large amount of material has been put in the Appendix, which thus becomes a volume by itself.

This new edition represents a large amount of labor in a thoroughgoing revision of the book and in numer ous additions of new material both in the body of the book and in the new appendices.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from The Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch

Ten years ago the author undertook to write a little book upon the Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch, and at that time he advanced some distance in its preparation. But on reflection he turned aside from it, with the opinion that the times were not yet ripe for it. He accordingly prepared the volumes entitled Biblical Study, in 1883, and Messianic Prophecy, in 1886. He has written a number of papers upon the Hexateuch in several different periodicals, and has ever kept in mind the ultimate accomplishment of his original plan. But it was his desire to wait until the completion of the new Hebrew Lexicon in order to use all the wealth of its fresh study of Hebrew words in the documents of the Hexateuch. It was also his desire to wait until he had completed his preparatory studies in the Higher Criticism of the Psalter, and in the Biblical Theology of the Old Testament. These studies are not in that state of forwardness which was anticipated before the publication of the present book. And yet they have gone so far as to produce a considerable amount of fresh evidence which now appears for the first time in this volume.
