Description

Bishop Colenso's Objections to the Historical Character of the Pentateuch and the Book of Joshua is a book written by John William Colenso, a bishop in the Anglican Church. In this book, Colenso presents his objections to the historical accuracy of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) and the Book of Joshua. He argues that many of the events described in these books are either impossible or highly unlikely, and that the books themselves were likely written much later than the events they describe.Colenso's objections to the Pentateuch and the Book of Joshua were controversial in his time, and the book sparked a great deal of debate and discussion among scholars and religious leaders. Today, the book is considered an important work of biblical criticism, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
