A timely defense of the Bible’s reliability against modern critical theory.
In The Problem of the Pentateuch, Randolph Harrison McKim presents a clear case for evaluating the rise of historical criticism with careful scrutiny. The work surveys major claims about the Pentateuch, weighing expert opinions and testing whether the modern view can replace long-held Christian understanding. It invites readers to consider both scholarly insights and devotional value in the Bible’s first books.
