Sinopsis

Excerpt from Introduction to the Pentateuch, Vol. 1: An Inquiry, Critical and Doctrinal, Into the Genuineness, Authority, and Design of the Mosaic Writings

IT is remarked by Mr. Litton, in his recent Bampton Lecture, that Studies which have for their object the elucidation of Scripture, in any of its leading divisions, seem to be, under present circumstances, peculiarly appropriate.

This is a statement which will be endorsed by all who have given attention to the Theological literature of recent years, and have noticed, with grief or alarm, that the tendency of many of these productions, whatever may have been their design, is manifestly to discredit the Records of Revelation, more particularly the Hebrew Scriptures.

It was partly a conviction of this kind which induced the Author to investigate the claims and character of the Penta teuch, which, more than any other portion of Scripture, has been assailed by all manner of weapons, and even by men, and that, too, in Protestant England,' who, by their office, have been set for the defence of the Gospel.' There was a higher consideration, however, than any merely polemical Object, which recommended this subject, and which, in any circumstances, renders the critical study of the Pentateuch a _matter of the highest importance. This is the necessity of correct views of the character and design of the Mosaic law as bearing on the Gospel itself, and to misapprehension of which is, doubtless, owing not a little of the opposition just referred to, as well as other portions antagonistic of Scriptural doctrine.
