A SCIENTIFIC REACTION ( Biblical - Archeological - Literal - Historical 12 )

            We have learnt before , that some of the scientists, during their attempt to defend against "Wellhausen" , failed as a victim of their self confidence,and became critics , but by using other way for criticism, in order to attack "Wellhausen".                                                                                                                                                            Their aims were not to protect the the word of God, but to prove their cleverness, against "Wellhausen" ,so some of them , have created the school of the form criticism, whom we will answer them the next essay ,but now, let us discuss one critic, who had no relation to the form school ,his name was "E.Robertson",he wrote his book "The Old Testament Problems",although he have written some positive ideas in his book ,to attack "Wellhausen"'s methods in thinking, he found himself at last ,in a strange situation , because his thoughts led him ,to find another theory against "Wellhausen's"theory,so, he said that "Samuel" the prophet ,was the composer of the book of "Deuteronomy", in order to revive the legal respect, to the Mosaic laws , and put that book of legal laws, inside the "Ark of the Covenant ", where the priests kept it, until the days of "Josiah",who used it to be the base of his reformation,.The student of "Robertson" completed this suggestion ,.his name was "R.Brinker" who wrote a book called ,"The Influence of Sanctuaries", to suggest that the sanctuary ,with its legal duties , have created in "Samuel" a sacred duty, to reform the states of the people ,who accepted the foolish practices of the priests, before him, by collecting the legal laws of "Moses",to control  his position, in the sanctuary,"Robertson" and his follower, found some one , to follow them , his name was"U.Cassuto" who wrote his book "La Questione dela Genesi"  .                                                                                                                                                      The story of "Samuel" as they have recorded, were just as a short story, imagined by some person,it have not any biblical or historical bases, only their depending on an individual  situation , have recorded to "Josiah", who had not any relation to "Samuel" .                                                                                                                                                                                Therefor, we found "E.Dornseiff", in the big refernce"ZAW.LII-LIII",1934 defended for the the "TORAH"'s authorship, as a whole, because he believed in  the unity of the "TORAH",also he wrote his book  "Antike und Alter Orient" ,about the normal unity of the "TORAH".                                                                                                       Also there was "A.R.Jonson" who warned us from the danger of these thoughts, saying that , the real danger in the Old Testament studies , is in the misconstrue, to that part of the inspired bible,Did the inspiration has a different sources ? Did it divided in its authorship stages , to rewrite it to be suitable to the generation's conceptions ? ,these are a conflicted opinions, which attacks the theory of the inspiration, which our respect to the great value of the "TORAH", depends on its bases .                                                                                   It is clear that the apologetic scientists, found themselves before the face of the critics, and , the scientists with the writers, who walked in a wrong way, to attack the critics , but they succeeded in performing their duty, due to their  abilities , this success were based on the Holy Bible ,only, but they used it,and it was sufficient and qualified  to win ,at the end. and followed ,            Rev. Joseph.
