Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular Introduction to the Pentateuch It is not an unlikely supposition that we owe to the Greek translators the division of the whole into five parts, inasmuch as the names of the different books are not of Hebrew, but Greek origin. The ms. Of the Pentateuch forms in the Hebrew one single roll or volume, which is broken up into sections, not into books. It is therefore to be regarded as 'one book in five parts.' 'we are accustomed to see the Pentateuch divided into five books, and to regard it as consisting of five separate writings. But this seems to be an erroneous View of the case, and it has served to give readier currency to inaccurate theories concerning its authorship.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Books of the Pentateuch: Their Origin, Contents, and Significance To some it may appear presumptuous on the part of the author to offer to Bible students a new Introduction to the Books of the Old Testament. The ground has been covered often, even by English-speaking scholars, and, what is far more significant, has been covered well. To mention but a few books in English: the student with adequate preparation may turn to the standard work by the late Professor Driver, or to the admirable Introduction of Professor Cornill; the student interested in a more popular presentation of the subject will find satisfactory guides in the Introductions of Professors Bennett, McFadyen, and G. B. Gray. And yet the author has felt for some time that there is room for another Introduction - an Introduction as complete, comprehensive, and scholarly as the works of Driver and Cornill, but written in less technical or more popular language and style. The aim and purpose of the author to supply this want will explain some characteristics of the present work. Few abbreviations are used and relatively few footnotes are given. Whenever possible, reference is made to books written in English, and preference is given to books or periodicals which may be expected to be within reach of students removed from large libraries.

Download or read book An Historico Critical Introduction to the Pentateuch Classic Reprint written by Heinrich Andreas Christoph Havernick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historico-Critical Introduction to the Pentateuch The work, of which the present volume is ft translation, is a portion of a larger work, entitled "Handbuch der historisch-kritischen Einleitung in das Alte Testament," a Manual of Historico-critical Introduction to the Old Testament; and forms the first part of the Special Introduction. It is the publisher's intention to bring out, in the latter part of this year, a translation of that division of the above work which relates to the General Introduction to the Old Testament, including in one volume the discussion of such topics as the formation of the Canon of the Old Testament, the history of the Hebrew Language, the Ancient Versions, &c. This, it is hoped, will be found extremely serviceable for use as a class-book in our Theological Institutions. The translation, which will be executed by Dr W. L. Alexander of Edinburgh, will be accompanied by an introductory notice of the merits of Havernick as a critic and commentator, which relieves the present translator of the task of attempting to do very imperfectly what will be satisfactorily performed by an abler hand. With respect to the present work, the translator would only add that, while it is occupied almost exclusively with a discussion of the question, so much debated of late in Germany, as to the genuineness of the Pentateuch - treating both of the Mosaic authorship and of the historical credibility of the work, points that are essentially connected; it would be wrong to regard its publication as superseded by the previous appearance of Hengstenberg's valuable Dissertations on the same subject. It is at once a more complete and methodical, and also a more compact work, answering to its title of a Manual. The principles also on which it is based, and of which it presents a thorough and masterly exposition in its treatment of the different sections of the Pentateuch as they come under review, are, in the translator's opinion, of the highest importance, such as alone will lead to a satisfactory and consistent apprehension of the peculiar character, spirit, and bearing of the Old Testament writings. They will prove the surest antidote to the rationalistic and infidel spirit, which is now seeking to diffuse itself amongst the educated and reflecting classes in this country. We sec it here encountered, on its native soil, by an able antagonist, and foiled with the right weapons.

Download or read book Introduction to Reading the Pentateuch written by Jean Louis Ska and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 2006 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jean Louis Ska's Introduzione alla lettura del Pentateuco was first published in Italy, it was quickly hailed as the most attractive and usable introduction to the Pentateuch to appear in modern times. Because of its strengths, it was soon translated into French. The English translation published by Eisenbrauns has been completely reviewed and updated (including the bibliography) by Ska. Among the book's many strengths are its close attention to the ways in which modern cultural history has affected Pentateuchal interpretation, attention to providing the kinds of examples that are helpful to students, presentation of a good balance between the history of interpretation and the data of the text, and the clarity of Ska's writing. For both students and scholars, many consider this book the best contemporary introduction to the Pentateuch.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Old Testament Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Friedrich Bleek and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Old Testament, Vol. 1 of 2 But to have done this at all satisfactorily would have entailed lengthened discussions which would have given the book a polemical aspect it was desired to avoid, and have swelled it to an inconvenient bulk. In a few cases where Bleek's decisions appeared most at variance with those of sober and conservative critics, references have been given to works where what is thought to be the sounder view is maintained. But, on the whole, the book has been left to stand on its own merits, and to speak for itself. Thus, it is believed, its real usefulness has been best consulted. The student will be furnished with the data on which Bleek's own conclusions have been based, but he will not be compelled to accept these conclusions as indubitable without further reflection. He may trust to the facts being, on the whole, fairly and impartially stated; but he must not be surprised if in some instances Bleek's deductions from the facts fail to commend themselves to his judgment. He will be careful to distinguish between the phenomena which Bleek brings so clearly before his notice and the explanations of the phenomena he gives. These explanations may be, and sometimes are, precarious, if not erroneous. These, however, which are rather errors of judgment than of principle, are not such as to affect materially the value of the work. Its general spirit or tendency, it is believed, cannot be otherwise than beneficial, or the translation would never have been attempted. Those who have hitherto been strangers to the controversies of the day, and have accepted, without doubt or question, the traditional views of the authorship and composition of the Books of the Old Testament, must be prepared to meet with much that is new, strange, and at first sight even startling, in Bleek's investigations and their results.

While carefully considering all the more important alternatives, I have usually contented myself with presenting the conclusion which seemed to me most probable; and I have thought it better to discuss each case on its merits, without referring expressly and continually to the Opinions of Eng lish and foreign scholars. In order to bring the discussion within the range of those who have no special linguistic equipment, I have hardly ever cited Greek or Hebrew words.
