Excerpt from The Prophecy of Joel: Its Unity, Its Aim and the Age of Its Composition The present volume treats of a subject, which has received an unusual amount of attention from recent scholars. It is, therefore, offered to the public with some hesitation. But when, in regard to a subject of such importance as the character and age of the Book of the Prophet Joel, there exist so many and so great differences of opinion, new efforts must continue to be made, until the most difficult problems are solved, or the limits between certainty and uncertainty are clearly defined. It is therefore hoped, that this treatise, which is a continuation of a dissertation, which received the approval of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Leipzig, may promote the end in view, and so be a real contribution to the study of the Prophets, and of Joel in particular. The opinions, which are here advanced, and the conclusions, which are reached, in many respects, differ materially from those of previous writers, and some of the views, which are expressed, are quite new. This need indicate, however, neither their correctness nor their incorrectness, but should invite others to test them thoroughly in the interest of truth. Though it is often said, the old is not necessarily true and the new is not necessarily false, it may just as correctly be said, the old is not necessarily false and the new is not necessarily true. Of the treatment of the question, and of the results of his earnest endeavors, which are now submitted to the public, the author can, therefore, merely solicit a careful consideration.
