The Divine Legation of Moses Demonstrated: In Nine Books; Volume 2

More about the book

Published in 1738, this landmark work of theological scholarship defends the idea that the absence of explicit references to the immortality of the soul in the Old Testament was intentional on the part of Moses. Instead of seeing this as a failing, Warburton argues, it is proof that God himself intended to teach the Jews about the afterlife through a process of gradual revelation.
