The Finding of the Law

The Critical Analysis of the Pentateuch

Defends Genesis' historicity using scientific and critical studies; reflects on battling the body, walking with God (Enoch), and Christmas goodwill.

Pentateuch Criticism

1887 Sunday School Times reviews the International Lesson Plan, scholarly critical notes, and Sunday-school teaching aids. It analyzes Matthew’s Gospel—its Jewish aim, structure, and lesson use.

Defends Mosaic authorship against the JEDP/documentary hypothesis, critiquing critical methods and redactional assumptions by close analysis of Exodus passages.

The Pentateuchal Question

Defends Mosaic authorship of Genesis and critiques higher-criticism partition theories as speculative and unfounded. Also contains scholarly notes on the Psalms.

The Mosaic Origin of the Pentateuch

Princeton proposes a revised academic curriculum. Dr. W. H. Green defends Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch; A. T. Ormond outlines methods for the history of philosophy.

Primeval Chronology

Two essays: one argues the resurrection and miracles are integral to Christian apologetics. The other shows Genesis genealogies are abbreviated, affecting primeval chronology and science–Scripture reconciliation.
