Did Moses Write the Pentateuch After All? #250731

Great writers in Church and State are but guides. The teaching of the Church is but to produce in us the knowledge of the living God. The following historical suggestions — made in the midst of other work and therefore not so full as might be wished — are offered in the hope that, as they were felt to be of use to the writer, so they may be of use to others. It is trusted that they are an honest endeavour to come by the truth, and, if necessary, to defend it. The writer is firmly of opinion that Moses is not played out. He feels rather that to restore him is one of the greatest needs of the age. Where he has found himself under the necessity to speak strongly, he hopes that the indulgent reader will not interpret it as a want of charity Where he may be judged to have failed, he prays that others may be found to succeed.
