Excerpt from The Old Testament in the Light of Modern Research
An intended preface has grown into an introductory chapter, and leaves little to be added here.
The author, troubled and perplexed, has had a flood of light poured upon the pages of his Old Testament by the Higher Criticism, and his one wish is to help others in their perplexities.
He feels bound therefore to acknowledge that there is little in this work which he can claim as his own, and this must be his apology where he may seem to dogmatize. He merely follows - afar off - in the footsteps of such great masters as Wellhausen, Reuss, Kuenen, Kautzsch, Driver, Ryle, Robertson Smith, Davidson, Kirkpatrick, and Budde. These are only a selected few out of a large number of works consulted. He cannot pay all his debts, but he must at least do himself the pleasure of acknowledging his indebtedness to his publisher, whose keen reading of the proofs has led to many corrections and suggestions.
