William Henry Green (1825-1900) served as professor of Biblical and Oriental Literature in Princeton Theological Seminary for many years. He was an able Hebrew scholar and wrote extensively on matters relating to the Old Testament text.
Liberal criticism in his day was calling into question much relating to how and when the biblical books that form the Old Testament were written and added to the recognised canon of Scripture. Using the internal biblical evidence he contends convincingly that the books were written when they claim to have been and were immediately received as inspired Truth.
Since his time many other scrolls and fragments of the books of the Old Testament have been discovered, including the Dead Sea scrolls. However, these discoveries only confirm the conclusions that Green has come to.
Also included here is a discussion of the Apocryphal books with reasons given for their rejection as canonical.
First published in 1898, this edition has been completely re-typeset for issue as an eBook.
