The progress of Biblical knowledge has necessitated the publication of
new series of commentaries. In English there is the International
Critical Commentary;[11] and some of the later volumes of the Cambridge
Bible, _e. g._, Prof. Driver's _Daniel_, are rather first-class
commentaries for scholars than elementary works for general readers. In
German there are Prof. Nowack's _Handkommentar zum Alten Testament_;[12]
Prof. Karl Marti's _Kurzer Handkommentar zum Alten Testament_,[13] and
the Old Testament sections of Profs. Strack and Zöckler's _Kurzgefaszter
Kommentar_.[14] Later on reference will be made to some volumes of these
series.
[11] T. & T. Clark. _Judges_ by Prof. G. F. Moore, _Samuel_ by Prof. H.
P. Smith, etc., etc., only four or five O. T. volumes published as yet.
[12] Vandenhoeck and Ruprecht, Göttingen. _Job_ by Prof. Budde, _Psalms_
by Prof. Baethgen, _Ezra_, etc., etc., by Prof. Siegfried, etc.
[13] J. C. B. Mohr (Paul Siebeck), Freiburg, i. B. _Genesis_ by
Holzinger, _Ezekiel_ by Bertholet, _Proverbs_ by Wildeboer, etc., etc.
[14] Oskar Beck, Munich, Orelli on _Isaiah_ and _Jeremiah_, etc., etc.
In addition to the above works, there are others specially intended to
show how criticism has divided up the books of the Old Testament into
the various older documents from which they are believed to have been
compiled. This analysis is shown in the German translation edited by
Kautzsch by means of initials in the margin; Dr. Haupt's _Sacred Books
of the Old Testament_ (Hebrew text) and _Polychrome Bible_,[15] by means
of colored backgrounds on which the text is printed; and in the _Oxford
Society of Historical Theology_; _The Hexateuch_[16] by means of
parallel columns. The introduction to the last named work is the most
complete popular statement of the grounds for the modern theory of the
Pentateuch. Technical details and a formal contrast of the arguments for
and against this theory may be found in the discussion between Profs. W.
R. Harper and W. H. Green in _Hebraica_, 1888-90. Numerous Introductions
to the Old Testament have expounded the current critical views, notably
for English and American readers the successive editions of Prof.
Driver's _Introduction to the Literature of the Old Testament_.
[15] _Genesis_ by C. J. Ball; _Numbers_ by Prof. J. A. Paterson
(Edinburgh), etc., etc.
[16] Edited by J. Estlin Carpenter and G. Harford Battersby.
