Excerpt from Old Testament Theology, Vol. 2: Or the History of the Hebrew Religion, The Deuteronomic Reformation in Century VII. B. C

It will hardly be disputed that at least one half of our people, pastors, teachers, and parents, are ready and even desirous to use the results of the latest study of the Bible, and of Hebrew religious history.

Since, then, Christian people are largely moving forward, it is right that all who lead in religious culture should see at least some outline of the altered conception of Hebrew Religious History which the modern analysis leads to. With this conviction the writer published in 1891 his first volume Old Testament Theology: or, The History of Hebrew Religion in the Eighth Century B.C. For the kind reception of it by many readers in all churches the author owes and gives heartfelt thanks. Would that the work so kindly received had only been far more worthy. The unanimity of welcome was a strong call for further service in the same direction, for it meant surely that the want of a work on Old Testament Theology was widely felt.

One reviewer, who is the revered Nestor of Scottish work on the Old Testament, rebuked the writer as too much swayed by feeling. We should be glad to receive erelong a work on the subject of these volumes from that honoured hand itself! But while we wait, something must be done.
