“The new line J have taken has brought me back to the old traditional view about the authorsh ip of several books of Scripture. . . It is not through any ‘dogmatic environment’ but from a sin cere con vic tion based on facts, that I joined the ‘con temptible minority’ which still believes in the Mosaic authorship o f the Penta teuch, and that I have ranked myself among the so-called ‘anti-critics’ in spite of the distinguished divine’s proph ecy, ‘The signs of the times indicate that in a few years they will disappear as com pletely as the slave -hold ers’ !”—Dr. Edouard Naville. —ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, p. 4.
Y S ND G IR L S TO SUMMER BIBLE SCHOOL
hands outstretched as if to take of the fruit. Behind one of the figures a serpent stands erect. A discovery of no less interest was made in 1932 by Dr. E. A. Speiser of the University Museum of Penn sylvania, when at Tepe Gawra, near Nineveh, he found a seal which he dated from about 3500 B. C. and which is “ strongly suggestive of the Adam and Eve story." The seal, which may be seen at the Museum in Philadelphia, is engraved on stone and is about an inch in diameter. It pictures a man and a woman, un clothed except for a headdress, walk ing as if utterly downcast. Leering over the shoulder of the woman is a large serpent. Such representations as these, brought to light as they have been from civilizations which carry us back almost to the dawn of human history, will admit only one satisfactory explanation. The fall did occur. The evidence points to the accuracy of the details given in the Bible. A world that is tragically sick unto death adds its confirmation from the present day and joins the evidence of antiquity in an effort to bring man face to face with his need of a Saviour. Next month Dr. Bauman will con tinue this discussion of the ancient traditions with regard to the fall o f man. 1. Knopf, “ The Old Testament Speaks/' New York, 1934, pp. 40*41. 2.
