Synopsis

A work of massive scholarship abounding in right and noble thought and remarkably fresh and suggestive. --Evangelical Magazine

Présentation de l'éditeur

Is introducing to the American public Dr. Murphy s Commentary on Genesis, I would commend it as a timely antidote to much of the negative, and destructive criticism upon the Pentateuch which has so largely obtained in Germany, and of late in England also, rather than as a complete solution of the many and vexed questions in language, in science, and in history which pertain to the so-called Books of Moses. The merits of Dr. Murphy swork are a nice critical analysis of the text, a candid consideration of all alleged difficulties, a common-sense view of the principles of interpretation, and a philosophic;!, clearness and comprehensiveness in the statement of inference or of doctrine. It consists of an exact literal translation of such passages as contain either verbal or grammatical difficulties, and of a critical and cxegedeal commentary, based upon, the grammatical construction of the text, and framed in view of the best lights of modern criticism and science. Thus, in the narratives of the creation and the deluge, our author unfolds stop by step the literal meaning of the sacred writer, and evolves from the Hebrew a sense which well accords with the facts of astronomical and geological science.
