The AUTHORSHIP
of the book of Genesis is a matter vital to its scriptural
authority. Was it written by one inspired of God? In answer,
we would say that the concurrent voice of the unanimous Jewish
and Christian Church establishes its author to be Moses. But
as this has of late been assailed with more than usual
violence, not alone by skeptics, which was to have been
expected, but even here and there by one vaunting himself to
be a Christian teacher, it is important that we set forth anew
the foundations upon which this claim rests. For in whatever
age skepticism lifts its head, and utters its old calumnies,
we must lay it low again with the sword of truth, even as has
been so often done in the past.
