Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Presbyterian and Reformed Review: October, 1893
Apart from the gratuitous and unwarranted assumption that there are discrepancies and inaccuracies in the Gospels, this conceals the fact that the representations of the Pentateuch in regard to the work of Moses, the revelations made to him and the laws enacted by him, are in large part discredited. What avails it that the writers and compilers were true to their sources of information, if these sources, because of distance in time or for other reasons, are considered unreliable? It is true that inspiration is attributed both to the documents and the redactors (pp. 142, But here again the use of terms out of their ordinary and accepted sense is calculated to mislead. For it must be borne in mind that inspira tion in Dr. Briggs' view does not preserve its subjects from histori cal mistakes. Accordingly it leaves the historic credibility precisely where it would have been without it.
