Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues for a more thorough study of Semitic languages in America. The author, a professor of Biblical Literature, emphasizes the importance of Semitic studies for understanding Old Testament scriptures, particularly in light of modern skepticism and negative criticism of the text. The book discusses the development of Old Testament studies on the European continent and the rise of a new school of biblical criticism that questions the inspiration and canonicity of the Old Testament. The author presents the views of leading proponents of this school of thought, including Astruc, DeWette, George, De Bohlen, Vatke, Graf, Kuenan, Oort, and Wellhausen, and explains the implications of their theories for the interpretation of the Pentateuch, the historical books of the Old Testament, and the Messianic prophecies. The author also addresses the objections to this school of criticism and sets forth the importance of examining these theories with a Christian standpoint. The book concludes with an appeal for American scholars to take up the study of Semitic languages and contribute to the ongoing investigation of Old Testament scriptures.
