Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works and Days of Moses: Or a Critical Dissertation on the First Two Chapters of Genesis It will be admitted by every intelligent and impartial critic, that at a first view there is a marked discrepancy, not to say a manifest opposition, between the account which we have of the world´s creation in the first two chapters of the book of Genesis, and that which is imprinted in stupendous characters in the vast encyclopædia of the universe itself. Over and over again distinguished literary potentates have come forward to offer explanations and to propose terms of agreement, with the view of terminating the long conflict between Biblicists on the one hand and Scientists on the other; but no one, so far as I am aware, has yet succeeded in negotiating a settlement by proving that the Mosaic narrative is a scientific possibility. Where so many have failed, do I flatter myself that I shall succeed? I will tell the reader exactly what I have done. I have divided my matter into nine short chapters. The first chapter is devoted to a consideration of the main purpose of the Pentateuchal Scriptures, and the extent to which the writer may be accepted as an authority on a question of cosmogony.
