Focusing on Colenso’s claim that portions in the Pentateuch are not historically true, Robert Moon’s concentrated, searing analysis of Colenso’s book attempts to demonstrate it as “ignorant of the principles of criticism, the rules of evidence, and the properties of language.” Attacking Colenso’s methodology as “simplistic and narrow,” Moon questions the reliability of Colenso’s mathematical and geological assertions and provides examples of their inconsistency and fallibility.
