Excerpt from Bishop Colenso on the Pentateuch ReviewedIt would be no light thing for me, at my time of life, to be cast adrift upon the world, and have to begin life again under heavy pressure and all unfavorable circumstances - to be separated from many old friends - to have my name cast out as an evil, even by some of them, and to have it trodden underfoot, as an unclean thing, by others who do not know me, &c., - (p. Xiii.) All this is very touching, and largely tends to render his arguments attractive, and to smooth the way for his somewhat startling conclusions. It is, therefore, the more ne cessary that all his arguments should be thoroughly tested, that their fallacies should be fully exposed, and that the baneful in¿uences of the whole book should be, as far as possible, counteracted. The author is perfectly conscious of the momentous results to which his charges and reasonings would lead. So am I. SO must every thoughtful man be. He challenges examination. He wishes every step of his argument to be carefully watched, and to be tested severely. He shall have his wish, and, if he should smart during the operation, he has himself to blame.Before proceeding to review the statements and so-called arguments of Bishop Colenso, I think it my duty to expose the false ethics of his book - to hold up to the well-merited scorn of every honest man that moral code which he has laid down for his own guidance, under difficulties confessedly great, and which he presses so strongly upon the acceptance of the clergy of his Church. In doing so, I am obliged to glance at the origin and history of his sceptical Opinions, as related by himself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
