The Old Testament and the Critics (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Old Testament and the Critics

The object of the author in preparing this little volume and taking the liberty of in truding it upon the public. Is not the estab lishment Of the divine authority of the Old Testament. The awful claim of being a communication from God to our race, he believes should be acknowledged only up on evidence the most unimpeachable. Yet the author most fully accepts this claim. The evidence on which it rests seems to him so ample, so overwhelming and so limitless, the thought of adequately presenting it, were he able to do so, brings the feeling of weari ness and discouragement. For more than thirty centuries the Old Testament, like some sacred fountain, has been issuing streams of healing, of hope and gladness, and every year the evidence of its divine origin has been accumulating.
