Excerpt from The Unity of the Book of Genesis The Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch has, how ever, been challenged in modern times in the name of the higher criticism on two distinct and independent grounds. One is that of the document hypothesis in its various forms and modifications, which occupies itself with the narrative portion of the Pentateuch, and on the ground of literary criteria claims that this is not the product of any one writer, but that it has been compiled from different documents, which are clearly distinguish able in diction, style, conception, plan, and design, and which belong to Widely separated ages. The other is that of the development hypothesis, which has attached itself to the preceding, but deals characteristically with a different portion of the Pentateuch and employs a differ ent style of argument. Its field of operation is the laws, which it claims were not and could not have been given by Moses, nor at any one period in the history of Israel.
