Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Documents of the Hexateuch, Vol. 1: Translated and Arranged in Chronological Order A new book on the well-worn subject of the Hexateuch needs justification, and perhaps my best course will be to explain the motives which led me to undertake my present task. In German and Dutch we have an abundance, indeed a superabundance, of works on the criticism of the Hexateuch, and the best results of recent inquiry are set before the English student in Mr. Wicksteed´s excellent translation of Kuenen´s masterly work. It seemed to me, however, that a book like Kuenen´s, which is the best of its kind, could only appeal to a very limited circle of readers. At least I found that I had constantly to spend many hours over a single page. Each note is crowded with references, and till the reader has made himself familiar with them, and weighed the evidence which they give, he cannot follow Kuenen´s clear and consecutive argument. Moreover, just because the argument is consecutive, he must burden his memory with a mass of facts and of inferences already established: otherwise he is not prepared to take the succeeding step. Manifestly it is only scholars with time at their command who can give themselves to such a course of study.
