• Excerpt from The Bible in the Workshop: A Refutation of Bishop Colenso's Critical Examination of the Pentateuch and the Book of JoshuaThere is, however, no lack of avowal on the part of the Bishop of what he intends to do if he is able. There is no attempt to disguise the uncompromising hostility of his cri ticism upon the first six books of the Holy Scriptures. He does not leave the slightest doubt upon the mind of the reader that he intends to prove, if he can, the untruthfulness of the Pentateuch, or, as he himself terms it, the unhistorical character of those books. But why not speak out plainly? If they are unhistorical, they are but a collection of fables, pure and simple, and the sooner they become the companions of Jack, the Giant-killer, the better. There can be no positive teaching drawn from a book, in which it requires a close study to detect the hidden fable from the hidden truth. and the whole history is either one of gross imposture, unworthy the notice of men living in earnest, or it is part of the oracles of the living God.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
