Higher Criticism Of The Hexateuch

By Charles A. Briggs

Book Overview

""Higher Criticism of the Hexateuch"" is a scholarly work by Charles Augustus Briggs that examines the first six books of the Hebrew Bible (Genesis through Joshua) from a critical perspective. The book explores the historical context, authorship, and composition of these texts, and argues that they were not written by a single author or at a single time, but rather represent a compilation of earlier sources. Briggs draws on a variety of academic disciplines, including archaeology, linguistics, and comparative religion, to support his arguments. The book was originally published in 1893 and remains an important work in the field of biblical studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
