Beinvloeding. Torrey (1863–1956) , was a “U. S. Bible scholar and Semitist. He was one of the founders of the American School of Archaeology in Jerusalem. Subsequent archaeological finds and advances in Semitic linguistics and in lower and higher biblical criticism have been damaging to many of Torrey’s contributions in the estimation of present-day scholarship. He developed an independent exegesis of the period of Ezra and Nehemiah in The Composition and Historical Value of Ezra-Nehemiah (1896) , Ezra Studies (1910; 1970) , and Chronicler's History of Israel (1954) . His thesis was that the bulk of the prophecy contained in the canonical Book of Ezekiel was pseudepigraphic, composed around 230 B. C. E. But purporting to date from the period of Manasseh (692–639 B. C. E. ) , and later in 200 B. C. E. Edited so as to appear to be an exilic work” (Garber in EJ 2007). Bumped corners and edges.
