BIBLICAL STUDIES By E. H. PLUMPTRE, M.A. PROFESSOR OF DIVINITY, KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON SECOND EDITION W. ISBISTER & CO. 56, LUDGATE HILL, LONDON 1873 THE papers in the present volume have for the most part appeared in GOOD WORDS or the SUNDAY MAGAZINE. That on "The Authorship of the Book of Job" was printed as an appendix to a volume of sermons, published under the title of THEOLOGY AND LIFE. I have thought it best to reprint them with hardly any alteration. The subjects of some of them would, I need hardly say, have admitted of more elaborate treatment and almost indefinite expansion, but my wish in writing them was to address myself to the wider circle of intelligent readers of the Bible rather than to the narrower circle of scholars, and so to popularise some of the more interesting results of the inquiries to which I had been led.
