Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Tora of Moses: Being a Critical Study of Deuteronomy; Its Separation Into Two Copies of the Tora, a Refutation of Higher Criticism Deuteronomy is the stronghold of higher criticism. If its analysis of this book be correct, and if the date which it assigns be accepted as true, there remains nothing to be done except to believe. If, however, it be shown that the literary analysis is incorrect, the strong reasons upon which the date rests disappear, and higher criticism must revise its conclusions. In this volume I take issue with the analysis of Deuteronomy which higher criticism has made and accepted. I do not undertake to show how this analysis is open to objection and so should be abandoned. Attempts of this kind have been frequently put forth, yet all of them are as unsatisfactory as the analysis itself. My method is to give an entirely new analysis. Professor Driver, in his Deuteronomy, says: "In estimating these objections, it must be remembered, firstly, that what is essentially new in Deuteronomy is not the matter, but the form. Deuteronomy, says Dillmann, truly, 'is anything but an original law book.' The laws which agree with those of the Book of the Covenant can be demonstrated to be old; those which agree with II (the Laws of Holiness) have the presumption of being based upon some common earlier source; the priestly usages alluded to are evidently not innovations."
