The Papal Commission And The Pentateuch (1906) - Charles Augustus Briggs - Bog

The Papal Commission And The Pentateuch is a book written by Charles Augustus Briggs and first published in 1906. The book discusses the controversy surrounding the Pentateuch, which is the first five books of the Old Testament, and the Papal Commission's investigation into the matter. Briggs was a theologian and biblical scholar who was at the center of the controversy, having been accused of heresy by the Presbyterian Church for his views on the authorship of the Pentateuch. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the investigation, the proceedings of the commission, and the aftermath of the investigation. It also includes Briggs' own defense of his views and his arguments for the critical study of the Bible. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates over biblical scholarship in the early 20th century and the role of the Catholic Church in these debates.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
