Excerpt from The Bible, What It Is, Vol. 1: Genesis, Its Authorship and Authenticity

The reader will find frequent references made to Bellamy's New Translation of Genesis. Bellamy was a painstaking, honest man, and good Hebraist, but his desire to free the text of the Bible from the imputation of containing objectionable passages often leads him to strain for an interpretation not warranted by the Hebrew. Kalisch's Commentary - a far superior and much less partial book, is also in constant use in these pages. His volume contains one of the most admirable collections of criticisms on Genesis ever presented to the English reader. It utters far more heresy than Colenso has yet ventured to put forward against Genesis. The author does not profess to reject the Bible as a divinely inspired book, but as he admits that it is irreconcilably contradicted by science, and confesses that in more than one place its own self-opposing statements cannot be explained away, it is evident that Kalisch's views on inspiration are not of a very orthodox order. Colenso's volumes, repeatedly quoted here, are valuable as coming from a Church of England.
