A SCIENTIFIC REACTION ( Biblical - Archeological - Literal - Historical 7 )at

Many of the great scientists ,attacked "Wellhausen's" themes, like "E.W.Hengstenberg" in his book "Dissertations on the Genuineness f the Pentateuch",1847, and "C.F.Keil " with "W.H Green" in his book "The Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch", 1895 ,also "James Orr" in his book "The Problem of The O.T ".1900, when he established his defense upon the weakness of the proofs ,of "Wellhausen" due to  its literature and theological values . Many scientists followed his logic, like "R.D.Wilson" in his book "A Scientific Investigation of the O.T ", 1926 and "G.Ch..Aalders",in his book "A Short Introduction to the Pentateuch",1949, also "O.T. Allis" in his book "The Five Book of Moses" 1943,   AT last the great man "E.J.Young" ,(we have quoted one of his expressions when he described the purposes of the critics, in the past essays)  and his book "Introduction to the Old Testament",1949.                                                                                                                                                           All these great men established their defense on attacking the three proofs of "Wellhausen" which was as follows :-(1) The deferent names of God .                                                                                                                                                                                      (2) the different literal style .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              (3) The double mentioned of some stories.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  But while these people defended ,another school of criticism have born ,by"H.Gunkel" and "H.Gressmann" it was the school of the form criticism ,which attacked "Wellhausen" but it was at the same time, a new wrong method ,which missed the real facts of the inspiration .                                                                                                                                                                                     At our following essays, we will explain briefly, how all these people helped us ,to analyse and comment on the real facts, counter "Wellhausen"' suggestions .      and follows                                     Rev.
