Reasons For The Higher Criticism Of The Hexateuch (1897)

""Reasons For The Higher Criticism Of The Hexateuch"" is a book written by Isaac Gibson in 1897. The book discusses the origins of the Hexateuch, which is the first six books of the Old Testament, and the reasons behind the higher criticism of these texts. The higher criticism is a method of analyzing the Bible that focuses on the historical and literary aspects of the text, rather than the theological or spiritual aspects. Gibson argues that the Hexateuch is not a single work, but rather a collection of separate documents that were written by different authors over a long period of time. He uses evidence from the text itself, as well as historical and archaeological research, to support his argument. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Hexateuch. Gibson discusses the authorship of the texts, the historical context in which they were written, and the literary style and structure of the texts. He also addresses some of the criticisms that have been leveled against the higher criticism, and argues that this method of analysis is essential for understanding the true meaning of the Bible. Overall, ""Reasons For The Higher Criticism Of The Hexateuch"" is a scholarly work that provides a detailed analysis of the origins of the Hexateuch and the reasons behind the higher criticism of these texts. It is 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.
