Synopsis

Excerpt from The Book of Genesis Treated as an Authentic Record, Vol. 1: Part I, the Adamic Narrative; Part II, the Noachic Narrative

It is now nearly five years since this book was first published. In the original Preface, which I have given above, and in the Introduction which will follow presently, I explained carefully the method and the principles on which I had proceeded in writing the work. During the time which has elapsed I have continued to apply those principles to the elucidation of a further portion of the Book of Genesis, and I have not found that they led me into any pitfall, or landed me in any absurdity. On the contrary, discoveries which have been made since then have confirmed what I wrote, especially as showing that the civilisation of mankind is to be traced, as the Scriptural narrative implies, to far earlier times than was then supposed, and in fact that the beginnings of it belonged to primitive man. Under these circumstances I should have been content, had matters remained as they were, to take little notice of the arguments and statements put forth by the Higher Critics, further than by pointing out here and there how completely they failed to explain the phenomena presented by the Book of Genesis. But the publication of Dr. Driver's work entitled The Book of Genesis, - intended apparently to popularise the destructive conclusions of the school of which he is the ablest representative in England, in nearly their most extreme form, - con strains me to adopt a different course.
