N SMITU’S TWELVE LECT- STAMENT IN THE The Nation, Sir Henry Moncrietf. Doctors Wilson and Adam, and their friends, have carried their point—the General Assembly of the Free Kirk has decided that Prof. Robertson Smith isuntitto teach Old-Testament criiicism in Aterdeen College, his critical principles not agreeing with those of the majority of the Assembly. It is a victory for the ultra-con- servatives, but one that is likely to cost them dear. Apart from the thevlogical aspects of the question, the high-handed proceaure of the traditionalist leaders tor some years past has provoked opposition among those who wish to see fair play. After Mr. Smith's suspension by the Commission he was unvited by prominent ‘members of the Free Kirk in Edinburg and Glaszow to deliver a. series of lectures on Biblica! crit- icism, and the favor with which these lect- ‘ures were received in the two cities shows that there is a strong body in Scotland rot only determined to know on what grounds the Aberdeen Professor is condemned, but by no means sure that he oughtto be con- demned atall, His book will give hima larger audience than the college could pro- vide, and the shrewd sense of the Scotch re- ligious public will form its own conclusions on the points involved. For the present the Assembly is satisfied with its work, but it can hardly stop here. It has already shown a disposition to lay its hand on A.B. David- son, Professor of Hebrew in the New Col- Jeze, Edinburg, the teacher of Professor Smith, and the author, itis said, of all this trouble. It will be strange if he escapes Sir Benry Moncrief?s vigilant eve. According tothe title-paze the subject of Mr. Smith's lecture is * Biblical Criticism.” In facet, they deal not only with the Old Testa- ment, but with methods that apply equally to. the New Testament, and we may hope that the Free Kirk will produce sume devout scholar who will do as mueh for the Chris- tian Seripturesas these lectures do for the. ish, ‘The Old-Testament field is largeenough for one man, and in almost every part of it fresh work has been done dur.ng the last ten. years. The origin of the early chapters of Genesis and of the patriarchal histuries, the parts played by ihe prophets and priests re- spectively in the develupment of the Israel- itish religion, the growth of the philosoph- lyric literatures, the separation of slative portion of the Pentatench into its historical layers, the dates and historical settings of the various books of the Old Testament, the critical value of the ancient versions, the mode of preservation and transmission of the Hebrew text, and the history of the collection of the books i ito a sacred canon— all these points have been worked up with freater thoroughiess, and with some fike approach to definit conclusions. Smith selects for his topics the scribes, the Septuazint, the canun, the psalter, the tu tory. the prophets, and the Pentateuch—a wide rangeaf subjects, which he handles with learning, acuteness, and candor. Hf he does not touch the Genesis question (for which he had hardly space) it is not because he has not sufficiently definit opinions about them. His general position. is that of the Most advanced criik he contrast of which with the old view is striking enough. Not long ago it was generally believed that the Israelites received the whole of the Levitical Jaw at Sinai and brought it with them inte Canaan; that there they “systematically ignored it for many centuries, though it formed the theoreti basis of their religious life; that they were punished by God for this’ neglect, and that finally, the persistent efforts of reformers, Kings, priests, and prophets forced them ba ‘after the exile to the standard that Moses had set up. “Prof, Smith, in. common with the ereat body of German. critics, dis- cards this view, and regards the religion of israel as an historical development. In the times of the Judges there was a very simple, unorganized cultus, with no well-fixed priest- Jy class, with various sacred places, great individnal liberty, great religious ignorance, anda low morality—elsewhere (Journal of Philology, vol. ix.) he has collected evidence to show that the totem-system existed at this time. Acentury or two fater the prophets became the guardians of the popular re- ion, laying stress on the moral element of the Torah (the Instruction or Law), tommonly unfriendly to the _sacri- ficial and ceremonial, and gradnally. leading the people to. purer conceptions of God. “At the same time the priests were slowly elaborating the ritual, which took shape especially during and after the Baby- lonian exile. “The book of Deuteronomy records the prophetic Torah as it existed in the latter part of the seventh century B.C, Leviticus and Numbers give the form that the privstly ‘Torah finally assumed in the days of Ezra (middie of the fifth century), and in Exodus, x. ii, we have the law- prophets down to. the end g ry B.C. The psalter Prof. Suith regards as “the hymn-book of the sec- ond temple,” the titles of the psalms as un trustworthy, and the collection as probably including productions of the Maccabean pe riod; and he puts the close of the canon not earlier than the middle of the second cent- ury, thedate of the book of Daniel. being about B,C. 164. Ample proof of these pos tions is furnished by the Old ‘Testament itself, and Prof. Smith presents the evidence clearly and skillfully. This historical conception throws of light on the Israelitish records. of the eighth cen a flood When, dis land, are forcing him to ser than Yahwe, this i : ‘, recollect that David, in common with all his Beneration, believed that the deity seals ae tached to the svit, that Kemosh bi Moab and Milcoi to Ammon ahwe to Israel; and the prophet, threat.

Our author takes care to Point out that throuzh these weak beginning: this ethical and religious muddle, the Israel” ites inade th r way to pureand elevated re- isious views, and their giowth is all the more wonderful that it began in such igno- Trance, Renan’s generalization avout” the Semitic monotheistic instinet has been much laughed at, and in truth, to say nothing of Assyrians, Sebeans, and Arabians, the early Israelites, with their fetish-worship and hu- min sacrifices, are as Innocent of munatheism Hindus or American Indians; yet the fact that they advanced steadily ton belief in one God, and held it with a firm grasp, and that from theni we and all the world have re- ceived it. Prof. Smith sees in the Old Testament history the leadmg of God, and insists that the modern i mn. Which. is nothing but a common-sense interpretation of the tuets, not only makes the ancient rec- ords real and living, but exhibits God’s deal- ings with man as an unforced, ess, not severed from the ci: pst time and pk: ‘To suppose that the Levitical Jaw was given whole to Moses at Sinai and then buried in oblivion foralmost a thousand years seems to him to be charging God with unwisdom: yet this is what the tradition- alists are willing to do in order to headings in the Pantatench, ‘They sacrifice the whole history for the sake of “ the Lord. said to Muses.” However. the position of this party is not ‘su shallow as would seem from this statement. They see that in giving in the Penta- ul ation they are in danger of sur- rendering it everywhere, and their fear can- not be said to be baseless. They are unwill- ing to rest on the evidences of God in history that Prof, Smith finds in the development of the Israclitish relizion,—their faith demands 2 visible -iniracle. We do not mean ta say, however, that our author rejects the externally supernatural in the Old ‘Testa- ment. He seems io maintain (p. 201) that the inspiration of ‘the Hebrew prophets was something more than elevated religious con- eeptions, profuund consciousness of God, and clear natural insight into the future. But o lightly that we are his meaning. H ussil of the supernaty method is simply to interrogate the faet: but whether he actually finds the outwardly supernatural in the Old ‘Testament, we aro notable to determine. What he doe: clearly and well is that revelati all things the voice of God The criticism of the Hebrew text is hardly inferior in interest to the reconstruction of the history. Here the chief importance at- taches to the Septaugint, whose ALON US, an instrument of critical re: has greatly changed of Iate. All existing He- brew manuscripts of the Old Testament, as is well known, were written after the text. had been fixed. by the Masoretes and their predecessors. We owe our Hebrew text to the Scribes; who were they, and what their text-eritical procedure? Reeent in- vestigations have shown, as Prof. Smith points out, that they often acted in a earele: and arbitrary inanner. ‘They were very w eritical, as we might suppose; they selected their standard manuscripts not for their cor- rectness, but for their practieal value, and they alowed themselves to. change the te: to suit their own views. A manuscript un- manipulated by them would be of price! value.” Now, isely such amanuseript v " 1 the Septuagint, the translation of the Old the third and second ec is only autographs; the suffered much in the cou to us the «translator do their, work intelligently this version, value for the brew text.

GEUENNA AND ITADES. x THR NEW TESTAMENT COR- WITH THE UGLY ENGLISH Po TERM “ G. Vance Smith, D. V.. one of the Revisers, in the Nine- teenth Century. . .. Another passage in the same neighborhood calls for a few remarks, —remarks. again not of approval but of disapproval and protest. Matt, v.. 2, “Shail be in danger of the hell of fire,”—and so in two other instances. In the Authorized Version “ hell” is the ren- dering of two different words, Gehenna ang Jlades. The latter of these is to beno longer so expressed. Being a proper name it is left by the revisers untranslated; and so the re- vised text will be enriched by a new word, —new at least to the English Bible,—the word Jlades, which will be found to oceur eleven times. This treatment of the word, inasmuch as it is a proper name, is correct; but then Gehenna is a proper name also! Why, there- fore, has not this been retained, but ren- dered by the ugly word “hell”? And “hell of fire” seems especially objectionable, for two reasons: first, only one kind of hell is known to the New Testament, while this phrase suggests other hells of a different nature, thus indirectly and quite needlesly importing into the Christian books the con- ception of certain Pagan mythologies, as to hells of a variety of kinds; secondly, the added words of “fire” (or “of the fire at), are they more than a simple Hebraism ? If not, the meaning of the expression “ Ge- henna of fire” is most probably ** the bur ing Gehenna,” and no more. ‘The reader may see asimilar form in Luke, jy GS Judge of unrighteousness,” properly Englished by “unrighte jude x es ‘The probability of this interpretation arises Gehenna \ from the nature of the case. the name of avaliey near Jerusalem. word by its Hebrew ety means “val- van ancient and in y of Hinnow Ue Old.” festument (Lf. Kings ssiii.. 10, 1L Chron., Xx 3). In former times it had been scene of latrous rites and of human one fhees| ‘to the god Moloch. Hence to the later Jews it was a place of abomination, and to jnark its character it was defiled by the ya- rious refuse of the city’there. thrown and kept burning that it might be consumed. A veritable pla f fire, deserving of its name andr ation! where. amidst corrupting: matters worms too mixht live, until the all- consuming element swallowed them up. Thus there was here literally a ‘pur aivnion,” an ageenduring fire, an “un- quenchable fire,”—a place “where their worm dietlr not and the fire isnot quenched” (Mark ix., 43, 48). itis easy to understand that, Gelenna be- ing such a place as this, it would become the representative, in popular speech, of the place of punishment reserved for the wicked and unbelieving, who were doomed to de- struction at the final judgment on the com- ing-of the Messiah. The ungodly should be east into the burning Gehenna and con- sumed: it does not appear that they were to be kept alive, burning forever, this being a later addition to the ancient conception. ‘The ideas associated with the medieval hell—such us may be scen painted on the wall of the Campo Santo at Pisa—are unknown to the Ge id have only been added to the y ne in its modern form by the y imaginations of speculative theolo- s. In other words, the representation of iehenna” by “hell” is clearly unjustiti- able, because this terrible word now.suggzests ideas of horror and iisery which have no Soundation in New Testament usage, when due regard is paid to the origin and history of the word Gehenna. It might have been expected that a body of revisers such as the Westminster Company would have been able to raise themselves above the popular con- ceptions of our day, and would have given us a rendering of the words in question which was fairly based not uyon the long-descended notions of the darkest ages of medieval su- perstition, but upon the just historical con- sideracions which are appheable to the sub- ject. Those who expected so much as this, yto think, will be disappointed ; reserved for a future revision, if thing shall come top: to do rds and thoughts which, in cou- n is subject, have been so long nisrepresented,—to the sore discredit, with many thoughtful minds, of the Christian Gospel.
