A propos de cet article

229 p.; 20.5 cm. [Reset from London 1862 edition] In Chapter V. Moses and Joshua addressing all Israel: `For, surely, no human voice, unless strengthened by a miracle of which the Scripture tells us nothing, could have reached the ears of a crowded mass of people, as large as the whole population of London.' (p. 83) -- `Colenso's work on the Old Testament is almost invariably described as negative, hurried and not particularly valuable. This is a misleading judgment. The truth of the matter is that his books reflect precisely the pilgrimage of the bishop himself. He began as a fundamentalist with doubts--that is to say he subscribed to the conventional view of the day, but he was not entirely happy about it. When challenged he was forced to consider the matter thoroughly. He became convinced that the Bible could not be verbally inerrant. For reasons which seemed good to him, he believed that he ought not to hide his opinions. The first part of his work was, therefore, published immediately. The later, more constructive and positive contribution which he had to make was something of an anti-climax and was more or less disregarded. This was not his fault. A purely academic personage might have kept the whole thing till it could be published together. Colenso felt that a missionary bishop could not do this. Once he had ceased to be a fundamentalist he published his reasons, however negative, at once. His opinions came as a shock even to his closest friends and colleagues.' (Hinchliff, John William Colenso, p. 85) -- [Parts II to VII followed until 1879.] VG orig. plain morocco-grain brown cloth.…
