Endnote 8 – Abraham Isaac & Jacob Meet Newton, Darwin & Wellhausen

William Foxwell Albright, From the Stone Age to Christianity (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press, 1940). An eloquent statement of Albright’s faith comes in the last sentence of the volume: “We need reawakening of faith in the God of the majestic theophany on Mount Sinai, in the God of Elijah’s vision at Horeb, in the God of the Jewish exiles in Babylonia, in the God of the Agony at Gethsemane…” (from the second edition [Garden City, NY: Doubleday Anchor Books, 1957], p. 403).
