Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bible and Rationalism, or Answer to Difficulties, Vol. 2
Josue, and it was a writer posterior to Moses who completed the account of the work commenced by the liberator of the Hebrews and left by him incomplete.
Besides, we must remark that the existence of Deuteronomy, placed between Numbers and the Book Of Josue, renders wholly inadmissible the hypothesis that the first six writings of the Old Testament form only one whole, or, as they say, a Hexateuch. Deuteronomy is an abridgment and a summary Of the Mosaic Law; it forms its conclusion; consequently, it ends it and crowns it, so to speak. That which follows can be only a new work which takes up the thread of the history where the preceding author had left off. If the Hexateuch had ever existed in the sense under stood by Rationalists, Deuteronomy should form, not its fifth, but its sixth part.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the contents of the Book of Josue, a historical text traditionally attributed to the eponymous successor of Moses and leader of the Israelites. Traditionally placed sixth in the Old Testament, or Hebrew Bible, this book is considered part of a larger Hexateuch that includes the five books of the Torah. The author delves into the book's historical and literary aspects, examining its composition, language, and the complex relationship it shares with other texts within the Hebrew Bible. This analysis illuminates the book's significance as both a continuation of the Pentateuch and an independent work. Through an examination of the text, the author explores how the Book of Josue engages with themes of conquest, national identity, obedience to the law, and the consequences of disobedience. It leads the reader into the broader historical and literary context of the Hebrew Bible, providing insights into the development of Israelite thought and the significance of this book within the larger narrative of the Old Testament. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
