Excerpt from The Problem of the Pentateuch: A New Solution by Archaeological Methods
The Problem of the Pentateuch has many aspects, each of which is much discussed and ofttimes without due recognition of its relative importance. Even when the essential relative importance of the various ele ments of this question is taken into the account, the order in which these elements should be discussed is Often overlooked. Zealous disputants sometimes press for the consideration of that particular phase of the subject in which they are most interested oblivious of the fact, or at least ignoring it, that some other phase of the subject, far less important essentially, should be considered first. The portico of a house could hardly be said to be its most important feature, yet it is most fitting to enter into the house by that approach. Some people are most deeply interested in the authorship Of the Pentateuch and the time of its composition, and so, at every mention of the Problem of the Pentateuch, thrust these questions into the foreground and insist that the whole discussion shall turn upon them. These questions may be of the first importance, but, whether they are or not, the approach to the Problem Of the Pentateuch lies another way.
