The truth is that the position admits of no compromise. You either believe that the Pentateuch was written under the conditions prescribed by Higher Criticism and exclude it from the canon, for it is grossly immoral to call a book like this holy, or you accept the traditional view of the Pentateuch. No man need shrink from that for fear of not looking scientific. For very eminent scholars demonstrated by archaeology and internal evidence that the Books of Moses could have been written by the Lawgiver. There is not a shred of real evidence to make this assumption impossible. If there were, the writer of Union Church Notes would not have to content himself with merely repeating and punctuating the same affirmation without writing a single line to prove his contention that Moses could not be the author of the books assigned to him.
