Publisher's Synopsis
""The Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch"" is a scholarly work by William Henry Green that explores the origins and authorship of the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. Green presents a detailed analysis of the historical, linguistic, and literary evidence surrounding the composition of these texts, and argues against the prevailing view of his time that the Pentateuch was the result of a gradual process of editing and redaction by multiple authors over many centuries. Instead, he contends that the Pentateuch is the work of a single author, Moses, who drew upon a variety of sources and traditions to create a coherent narrative that provides a foundation for Jewish and Christian theology. Green's book is a landmark in the history of biblical scholarship, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and interpretation of the Bible.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
