Excerpt from The Scriptures Defended: Being a Reply to Bishop Colenso's Book on the Pentateuch and the Book of Joshua
This, I may observe, is no whim of the learned of the present age, but has been already advocated by several highly esteemed writers of the last century. Thus, Bishop Lowth, in the Prelim' inery Dissertation to his commentary on Isaiah, in speaking of Archbishop Seeker's marginal notes on the Bible, says, 'these valuable remains of that great and good man will be of infinite service, whenever that necessary work, a new translation, or a revision of the present translation of the use of our church, shall be undertaken.' In remarks, And as to the turn and modification the translator, in this particular province of translation, is, I think, as much confined to the authors manner as to his words: so that too great liberties taken 1n varying either the expression or the compos1tion, in order to give a new air to the whole, will be apt to have a very bad effect. For these reasons, whenever it shall be thought proper to set forth the Holy Scriptures for the public use of our church, to better advantage, than as they appear in the present English translation, the expediency of which grows every day more and more' evident, a revision or correction of that translation may perhaps be more advisable, than to attempt an entirely new one. For as to the style and language, it admits but of little improvement; but. In respect of the sense and the accuracy of interpretation, the improvements of which it is capable are great and nuniberless.'

Excerpt from The Scriptures Defended: Being a Reply to Bishop Colenso's Book on the Pentateuch and the Book of Joshua
When I published the first of the following series of articles I had no intention of undertaking the responsible and laborious task of writing a full reply to Bishop Colenso's book on the Pentateuch, my object was merely to allay the excitement which the announcement of such a heretical work from the pen of so eminent a prelate was then creating. From extracts which had appeared in some of the leading journals, it was impossible not to perceive that a fatal blow was aimed at the Scriptures, and consequently at Christianity; and the instrument being wielded by an eminent mathematician and dignitary of the church of England, it is not to be wondered at that the minds of the lovers of the Bible should at first have been somewhat disturbed. Indeed, for a time, the chief topic of conversation was Bishop Colenso's new book: and thinking that, under the circumstances, a few general remarks bearing upon the subject might not be unwelcome to the public, I determined, as the book had not yet reached this country, merely to throw out a few observations, showing how strange it was that the almost numberless commentators and critics, both ancient and modern, should not have perceived those discrepancies, if such had existed, which the Bishop of Natal professed to have discovered in the Pentateuch and Book of Joshua.
When the book at last came to hand, and I saw the subjects which were taken up, and the manner in which they were treated, and being likewise informed that the book met with an unprecedented sale here, I felt it my duty to refute it with as little delay as possible.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges Bishop Colensoâs questioning of the veracity of narratives in the Pentateuch and the book of Joshua. The author argues there is a great deal of evidence to support the authenticity of Scripture, including external as well as internal evidence. The author further makes the case that Bishop Colenso has presented a work that is not entirely complete and has not laid out fully what he believes to be the true aspects of the Pentateuch and the book of Joshua. The author explains that the entirety of the Pentateuch should be considered when understanding references to âMosesâ in the New Testament, and that the Pentateuch contains the true word of God and can be relied upon as an indispensable guide to a righteous life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781331919742_0
