Excerpt from The Battle of the Standpoints: The Old Testament and the Higher Criticism Porary Review requested me to reply to articles on Old Testament Criticism by Canons Cheyne and Driver, I instantly availed myself of the precious Opportunity, and stated, in the April number of the Review, the grounds of belief in the Mosaic Authorship of the Five Books of the Law. Thereupon I received many requests, some from prominent members of the Church of England, to republish the article for popular distribution. But, from its assuming prior knowledge of the positions of the Development Critics, my article seemed to me unsuitable for popular use. On an invitation, how ever, to read a paper on the Higher Criticism of the Old Testament before the Evangelical Alliance at its meeting at Manchester, I kept the aim of subse quent publication distinctly in view. The following pages are an expansion of the paper read. And I trust that, by studied avoidance of all technical and scholastic matters, these pages may be fitted to give not unimportant information to all readers interested in the momentous question treated.
