The Pentateuch In Contrast With The Science And Moral Sense Of Our Age (1873)

and Theologian James McCosh is a critical examination of the first five books of the Old Testament, known as the Pentateuch, in light of contemporary scientific and moral understanding. McCosh argues that while the Pentateuch contains valuable spiritual and moral teachings, its scientific claims are often at odds with modern knowledge and should not be taken literally. He also critiques the moral values presented in the Pentateuch, particularly its treatment of women and slaves, and suggests that these outdated beliefs should be reevaluated in light of contemporary ethical standards. The book is written from a Christian perspective and seeks to reconcile religious faith with scientific and moral progress. It is a thought-provoking work that challenges readers to reconsider their beliefs and engage in critical reflection on the relationship between religion, science, and ethics.In 6 Parts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
