Description

"Remarkable....The best popular presentation of the subject yet published." -The Congregationalist and Christian World "It presents in concise and readable form the more important conclusions of modern Biblical criticism. Many who have hesitated at attempting to absorb the minutely applied erudition in such a work as Driver's 'Introduction to the Literature of the Old Testament' will welcome Professor Moore's briefer volume with delight." -New Outlook "After explaining the canon and indicating the high level of this national literature, Dr. Moore takes up the books in turn. The chapters are brief, but they present clearly the points one most needs to know as a preparation or incentive for further reading and better acquaintance." -English Mechanics and the World of Science "Professor Moore devotes the first chapter of his valuable little volume to a discussion of the first questions: How and when then Jewish community accepted the Old Testament canonical books as sacred and authoritative. This discussion on the formation of the Canon is marked by that incisiveness of attack and clearness of statement which renders all the writer's work so valuable. The book as a whole is excellent, and is unquestionably the best popular treatment of the subject to put into the hands of interested laymen and laywomen." -The Harvard Theological Review "A sketch of the formation of the canon, a chapter on the Old Testament as the national literature of the Hebrews, and a presentation of the literary character, composition, date and authorship of each book or group of writings. The treatment is popular, but thoroughly scholarly. The conclusions are those of modern criticism, without vagaries or extreme positions. The general reader will find in the volume sufficient information to enable him to read the Old Testament as modern historical students understand it....Professor Moore's scholarship is so thorough and his mastery of the facts so complete that he is able to single out the salient and important and to avoid confusing the reader with a mass of detail....It will be difficult for any one to prepare a better popular manual of introduction to the Old Testament." -The Nation "A reliable presentation of the views of the Wellhausen school as to the origin and character of the Old Testament books. It is clearly written, quite succinct and yet full enough to furnish the reader a substantial grasp on the main features of the subject....As a compact exposition of those principles it is admirable." -The Princeton Theological Review "Professor Moore's book is peculiarly adapted to help one draw true lines between facts and guesses, and to distinguish lower and higher degrees of probability....Wholesome and reassuring." -Yale Divinity News CONTENTS I The Canon of the Old Testament II The Old Testament as a National Literature III The Pentateuch IV Character of the Sources.
