A superb defense of the Pentateuch's laws as Mosaic in originThe discussion contained in this little volume is . . . the fruit of extensive reading and careful reflection. - W. Henry Green
Geerhardus Vos challenged the prevailing scholarship of his time, asserting that Moses was the author of the Pentateuch: the first five books of the Holy Bible. This book was adapted by Vos from his scholarly dissertation. During late 19th century Germany, it had become popular among theologians to deny that Moses authored most of the early Bible. Responding to these trends, Vos mounts a vigorous defense of Moses as the person behind the Old Testament lore, citing the linguistic dynamics, testimonies of early prophets, and various indications and references to Mosaic origin elsewhere in the Bible. With this multi-faceted approach, the reader is persuaded that Moses did infact write the Pentateuch. Although Vos wrote this text aged only in his twenties, he proves an extensively well-read and convincing narrator who demonstrates a voracious knowledge of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. Organized from the outset, Vos presents a chart in the first chapter which sets out the structure of his various arguments, and their relation to one another. The book itself contains direct quotations of the original Hebrew, that readers may gain maximal insight into the ancient lore.

Excerpt from The Mosaic Origin of the Pentateuchal Codes Completeness of legislation in the modern sense not to be expected; the law embraces those ceremonial and civil forms which were shaped by the theocratic idea, all else left to existing usage or future provision; opposite objections urged, incompleteness, or too great perfection for a nomad tribe, 51 isolation of the peo ple and the equal division of lands favor simplicity of legisla tion, which was subordinate to Israel's high spiritual calling, 52.
