About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II. THE BOOKS OF KINGS. THE Two Books of Kings, as we call them, are only one book (Sepher Melakim), and were so regarded not only in the days of Origen (ap. Euseb., H.

What has the Higher Criticism, as represented in historic sequence by such writers as Vatke, de Wette, Reuss, Graf, Ewald, Kuenen, Bleek, Wellhausen, Stade, Kittel, Renan, Klostermann, Cheyne, Driver, Robertson Smith, and others, to tell us about the structure and historic credibility of the Books of Kings ? Has it in any way shaken their value, while it has undoubtedly added to their intelligibility and interest ? I. It emphasis...
