by Abraham Benisch

The Jewish Chronicle

, 1863

Overview

Originally appearing as a series of articles in the Jewish Chronicle, Abraham Benisch’s scathing refutation of Colenso’s work is divided into four sections containing his objections: philology, geography, arithmetic, and morality. Using these headings as a starting point, Benisch endeavors to demonstrate that none of Colenso’s ideas are original or credible.
