Excerpt from Criticism and the Old Testament: A Popular IntroductionTo Professor G. A. Smith's Modern Criticism and the Preaching of the Old Testament, ' I owe also a great deal, especially in Chapters IX and X. Indeed, it was the perusal of his fascinating pages, addressed primarily to preachers, which awakened in me, as one who has to occupy the pulpit, a desire to speak in writing to the occupant of the pew, and to show how criticism has enhanced the value of the Hebrew Scriptures. My debt to his lectures is both direct and indirect, though again I would say that my conclusions are not altogether to be laid to his charge. I have also utilised his commentary on Isaiah, in the Expositor's Bible.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
