To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They are productions, he sa)'s, of " creative genius, so that the narrative has not even a historical residuum. " And these splendid monuments of creative imagination are simply " illustrated religious lessons, which bring in the patriarchs, Moses, Elijah, and so on. " He holds indeed, that the historico-prophetical books were formed from earlier histories which the genius of the compilers worked up : but he does not rely upon their accuracy, and to him everything before the time of king Saul i...s hopelessly uncertain. Thus he attributes the books of Kings to a writer who knew at least the principal parts of Deuter- onomy ; this writer depicted Josiah's reformation so as to make it in harmony with that form of the book of Deuteronomy which was known to him : but in point of fact, the pretended centralisation of worship at Jerusalem would have been as incredible an act of madness on the part of Josiah, as it would be on the part of the Archbishop of Paris to-day to forbid the saying of Mass anywhere throughout his diocese except at the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
