Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua: Considered With Reference to the Objections of the Bishop of Natal In his Preface and Introductory Chapter Dr. Colenso raises a variety of points, the satisfactory discussion of which would occupy more time and space than the discussion of the main body of his work. I shall, therefore, not allow myself to be tempted by the remark of his "simple-minded but intelligent native," (quoted Preface, p. vii, ) or by Dr. Colenso's own speculations respecting the geology of Auvergne, to discuss, upon the present occasion, the question of the Universal Deluge: nor shall I stop to point out how it may happen that one who recognizes in the relation of the sun standing still, a stupendous miracle, may suspend his judgment as to the manner in which that miracle was performed.
