Overview

Excerpt from The Law in the Prophets Quarters, of recent years, is the theory that a large por tion of the Pentateuch was the work of Ezra and the priests in Babylon. Deuteronomy, it has been alleged, was the composition of nobody knows whom in the time of Josiah or Manasseh, but the ritual portions of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers were much later, and the Pentateuch, as we now have it, was hardly completed in the time of Nehemiah. According to modern theories there are few portions of Genesis even as early as the division of the kingdoms Of Judah and Israel. It is needless to Observe how contrary this notion is to the Old-fashioned belief, which regarded Genesis as one of the very oldest books in existence; but it may not be needless to observe that if there is any ground for accepting this theory it at once becomes impossible to regard Genesis as in any sense an historical book. The history of events that is not written down for seven or eight hundred years and more after their supposed occurrence, is not likely to be worth anything as a trustworthy record of facts, and there.
