Excerpt from Academical Lectures on the Jewish Scriptures and Antiquities, Vol. 2
From remarks in the twenty-sixth Lecture, and other parts of the volume, it will be seen, that I regard the books of the Law as stand ing upon very different ground, in point of authority, from the rest of the books in the Old Testament collection. Upon evidence which satisfies my mind, I recognise Moses as a teacher supernaturally instructed, and em powered to prove his divine mission by mirac ulous works; while I do not find proof that the other Hebrew writers had either received, or pretended to have received, supernatural communications or endowments of any kind.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book scrutinizes the stories and divine communications allegedly received by Moses in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). The author argues that Moses collected ancient records and traditions, which contained repetitions and contradictions. Despite this, the author believes Moses used these accounts to share the character and fortunes of the ancestors of the Jewish people, provide evidence for their claim to the land of Canaan, and present opinions consistent with the revelations and injunctions of his Law. However, the book stresses that Moses' purpose was independent of the literal truthfulness of these earlier stories.
