Overview

Excerpt from Moses and Deuteronomy: Or the Present State of the Question as to the Date and Authorship of the Book of Deuteronomy Only let critical researches into the origin and character of the sacred docu ments be conducted on the principle here laid down, which combines reverence for spiritual truth with -freedom of intellectual enquiry, and we need have neither bitter recriminations between our divines nor ap prehensions for the faith, which is equally dear to all. It is indeed only through the combination of the open eye, with the devout heart, that the highest truth can be obtained. - Quarterly Review, cxlvii. 336. The writer has devoted a good deal of time and thought to the question of the Authorship of Deuteronomy, using every means and appliance at his command, and consulting im partially critics and commentators of every variety of view. His object has been to know all that can with certainty be known in explanation of an interesting but obscure Biblical problem. He began his researches without any conscious bias, unless it might be the natural hope that he might end by finding that but little modification of the old accepted doctrine was necessary. In order to reconcile criticism and tradition. He had no theory of his own upon the subject; neither did he expect that amongst the theories of the day he should find any one that could be deemed entirely satis factory or capable of explaining the whole of the facts.
