Overview

Excerpt from Dissertations Genuineness of the Pentateuch, Vol. 1 IT is by no means our design to give a complete history of the investigations respecting the genuineness of the Pentateuch. This has been already partially done by hartmann and it would be of little service merely to correct some particulars in his survey, or to enlarge it by a list of names, titles of books, and summaries of their contents. It would be far better that whatever is not essen tially connected with the progress of the controversy - which merely tells us how this or that writer has arranged the Specular tions of others - which does not penetrate further into the merits of the question, but is only an echo of what has been said before - should be omitted, lest we should run the risk of not being able to see the wood for the trees. We shall direct our attention only to the main points of the his tory. Our Object, first of all, will be to explain how it has hap pened, that the genuineness of the Pentateuch, which, in a former age, had been regarded as fixed on a philosophical basis, has been subject, since the last quarter of the eighteenth century, to so many attacks, and has been impugned with so much confidence and with such wide-spread effects.
