Remarks on the Mistakes OF Moses"
written and published by III. l.. Hastings,
Boston, Mass, is one of the Anti-Infidel
library. In this article Mr.. Hastings
undertakes to refute those skeptics who
not only deny the divine inspiration of
the writings of Moses, but also deny that
Moses ever wrote at all, and, in fact, that
there was ever such a man as Moses. To
establish the fact that Moses was an his
torioal parsonage. and also that he wrote
the Pentateuch. Mr. Hastings quotes
from Josephus and other Jewish
historians and also the well-kn0wn Gem
tile writer Manetto, who hounshed during
the third century before the Christian era,
as well as from Others of the early writer's.
On the whole, Mr.. Hastings makes a
strong presentation Of his subject, and his
article Is one that should be read by fair
minded people before accepting the dictum
that Moses never lived, or that IL he die
live. that he never wrote what are known
as the i've books of Moses.
