Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Pronaos to Holy Writ: Establishing, on Documentary Evidence, the Authorship, Date, Form, and Contents of Each of Its Books and the Authenticity of the Pentateuch
Ost critics read little more than the index or table of contents of the books which they criticise; few of them study an author before they attempt to laud or blame him. The author of this Pronaos to Holy Writ criticises the literature of the ancient Hebrews, and has read all those books and every word thereof in the original for a term of sixty-six years, i. E., from boyhood up to his seventy-second birthday, and has attempted to acquaint himself with all ancient versions and commentaries, and a large portion of the modern translations and commentaries of the Bible. Besides, he expounded Holy Writ these forty-eight years in the synagogues and school-rooms, and before academical classes in the college these sixteen years.
