The Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch is a book written by William Henry Green that examines the origins and authorship of the first five books of the Bible, known as the Pentateuch. Green, a professor of Old Testament at Princeton Theological Seminary, argues against the higher criticism movement that emerged in the late 19th century, which sought to explain the Pentateuch as a collection of documents written by multiple authors over centuries. Instead, Green defends the traditional view that Moses was the sole author of the Pentateuch, and that the books were divinely inspired. The book provides a detailed analysis of the linguistic, literary, and historical evidence for the traditional view, and critiques the arguments put forth by proponents of the higher criticism. The Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch remains a significant work in the history of biblical scholarship and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
