Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Hebrews Translated, Vol. 1 of 2
The selection of the present work as the first in this series which deals with the Old Testament has been made with special reference to the actual condition of critical studies in England. Long and arduous efforts have been required to naturalise Old Testament criticism among us, but our students still find great difficulty in mastering methods and assimilating results. The deliberateness of Professor Kittel's procedure and the comparative conservatism of his conclusions (so far as they are presented here) should ensure his work a cordial reception among us, while the attention which he has given to archaeological data furnish one more proof that Old Testament criticism has passed for good and all out of the purely literary stage which lasted from Eichhorn to Colenso.
