Excerpt from Why I Still Believe That Moses Wrote Deuteronomy: Some Reflections After Reading Professor Robertson Smith's Additional Answer to the Libel
As I also wish to make my statement brief, and easily understood by all, I shall not dwell upon minute points, nor argue over a word or phrase merely because I can object to it. Nor shall I take up any extreme ground, nor deny that there may, perhaps, have been considerable editing of the work of Moses, however far I am from being convinced of this by any evidence that I have seen. Nor shall I deny the possibility of the Mosaic laws having been given orally between the exodus and the conquest of Canaan, and yet having remained for the most part unwritten till ages after wards and I should be able to point, in confirmation of this possibility, to the case of the oldest and most comprehensive of all prophetic utterances, which formed no part of Scripture till it came to be recorded in the Epistle of Jude. But Professor Smith's opinion has reference, not principally, if at all, to the time when the laws were reduced to writing, but to the time when they were given forth by God. He says.
