Synopsis

The Pentateuch and Writings of Moses Defended Against the Attacks of Dr. Colenso is a book written by James Hargrave Mann in 1863. The book aims to refute the arguments made by Dr. John William Colenso, a bishop in South Africa who published a controversial work titled The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua Critically Examined in 1862. Colenso's book questioned the authorship and historical accuracy of the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch, and sparked a heated debate among scholars and theologians. Mann's book is a defense of the traditional view of the Pentateuch, which holds that Moses was the author of the first five books of the Bible, and that they are historically accurate and divinely inspired. Mann argues that Colenso's criticisms are based on flawed reasoning and incomplete knowledge of the historical and cultural context of the Pentateuch. He also addresses Colenso's objections to specific passages and events in the Pentateuch, providing his own interpretations and explanations. Overall, The Pentateuch and Writings of Moses Defended Against the Attacks of Dr. Colenso is a scholarly work that engages with a significant theological controversy of its time. It provides a thorough and detailed defense of the traditional view of the Pentateuch, and offers insights into the debates and discussions that shaped biblical scholarship in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following Letters in defence of the Pentateuch were written for the purpose of being inserted in a public journal, Pcjblic Ori NioN, in which the first appeared Dec. 13th, 1862; the second, after some delay, was returned, with a polite note from the Editor, stating their intention to have published it, but that the controversy had extended to such a length, as to have occasioned discontent with a number of their subscribers, and that they had therefore determined to close it. In publishing them, I determined to make the last a personal letter to Dr. Colenso, and then felt it to be my duty to avow myself as the writer. A general statement in a public journal may with propriety be anonymous; a direct attack upon an individual should never be so. J. H. MANN Albert Road, Regents Park.
