'Geddes was incontestably a man of great learning and independence
of mind and his work as a pioneer of modern biblical scholarship is
one of the greatest historical importance' (J.G. Macgregor). Yet
the work of this eighteenth-century scholar is largely unknown
today, though his name is often linked with the 'fragment
hypothesis' of Pentateuchal composition which he initiated and
which was developed by Vater. But perhaps his most significant
contribution is in the field of mythology at the moment when J.G.
Eichhorn was himself engaged in this development. Making full use
of contemporary sources, and drawing upon hitherto unpublished
material, Dr Fuller writes the first full-scale study of this
remarkable man who with courage, not unmixed with rashness, stood
almost alone in his endeavours to introduce principles of literary
and historical criticism into Bible study in Britain.
