PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
It is an encouraging sign that a second edition should be required within a few months. Advantage has been taken of this to add a few paragraphs, and where the evidence requires it, to strengthen others. I cannot lament, as some have, that critics ignore anything written on the conservative side. I have given their remarks careful consideration, but it is significant that in all criticisms I have seen, no attempt has been made to controvert the main lines of evidence put forward in support of the original sources from which Genesis was compiled. Indeed, the fundamental theme of the book--that regarding the use of the formula which constitutes the framework of Genesis--has been generally accepted. It is perhaps necessary to add that I have not attempted to discuss the general problems presented by Genesis or archaeology. I have limited the contribution of the latter to a very slight "archaeological background" and have confined my comments about Genesis to the literary problem of its origin. It is my hope that I have not misrepresented anything or omitted any relevant point of importance.
