Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Our Religion, From Moses to the Present Day The teaching of this subject has, presumably, two closely correlated aims: first, it would seek, on the purely intel lectual level, to give a clear idea of the nature of the Christian religion and its historical development and achievement; secondly, it would seek to create, as a result of this purely intellectual process, a sense of the overwhelming importance of Christianity and its continuous and increasing vitality. The latter aim will not perhaps be pursued directly in the class-room, but its achievement would result spontaneously from the achievement of the former aim. At present neither aim is generally achieved. Many reasons for failure might be suggested, but two in particular fall to be mentioned here since they explain the idea of the present book. In the first place we have, in our Bible teaching, been too much occupied with political, biographical, and geographical details, which, from the standpoint of Christian Divinity, are of secondary importance. For what makes Bible history worth studying at all is the religious history, and the rest is only useful in so far as it explains that.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Our Religion, From Moses to the Present Day This book has been written primarily as a contribution towards that most difficult undertaking, the teaching of 'Divinity.' The teaching of this subject has, presumably, two closely correlated aims: first, it would seek, on the purely intellectual level, to give a clear idea of the nature of the Christian religion and its historical development and achievement; secondly, it would seek to create, as a result of this purely intellectual process, a sense of the overwhelming importance of Christianity and its continuous and increasing vitality. The latter aim will not perhaps be pursued directly in the class-room, but its achievement would result spontaneously from the achievement of the former aim. At present neither aim is generally achieved. Many reasons for failure might be suggested, but two in particular fall to be mentioned here since they explain the idea of the present book. In the first place we have, in our Bible teaching, been too much occupied with political, biographical, and geographical details, which, from the standpoint of Christian Divinity, are of secondary importance. For what makes 'Bible history' worth studying at all is the religious history, and the rest is only useful in so far as it explains that. Secondly, we have far too much limited 'Divinity' teaching to 'Bible' teaching. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Moses There was a woman that had a child when all the babies were to be drowned and she was a good woman and she asked God how she could save her baby and God told her to make a basket of rushes and put it in the water hiding it in the rushes. Then Pharaoh's daughter was going to bathe in a certain place and as she went past she saw the cradle and asked her servants to go and bring it out and they did it. When they brought it out they lifted the thing up that was on the top and. They saw a baby crying. Then they saw the child's sister that was standing far away and Pharaoh's daughter cried to her to come and when she came she told her to call a nurse for the baby and then she ran and brought the mother of it and she told the mother to take charge of it and to come to the palace and so she came. Then Moses when he was grown up was sent away to show some wonders to the Israelites and God told him the things he was to do. He first told him to lay down his rod and when he laid it down it became a serpent. Then he told him to go and do it when he was with the Israelites and he said he would do it. Then God told him to put his hand into his breast and he did so and his hand became a leper, then he pulled it out and he put it in again and when he pulled it out it was just the way it was before. Then God told him to do that and he went away home to the house that he lived in and God told him that he would have to go to the Israelites. Then he went away to the Israelites. One day Moses saw a Egyptian whipping a Israelite and he came and killed the Egyptian. It was not wrong of Moses to kill the Egyptian because he was doing harm to the Israelite for he was an Israelite too. After that God told Aaron and Moses to go up and try to make Pharaoh let the Israelites go away and then Aaron and Moses went up to speak to him and asked him if he would allow them to go and Pharaoh said no that he wouldn't. Then Aaron laid down the rod and behold it became a serpent. He took it by the tail and pulled it up and it turned into a rod. He put his hand into his breast and it became a leper and he put it in again and it was just as it was before. Then the Egyptians took all their rods and laid them down and they became ser pents. Pharaoh said he would let them go but he hard ened his heart and would not. When Pharaoh was going to bathe at a certain place Aaron stretched his rod over the water and it became blood. Then Pharaoh went home in despair and he said he would let them go but he hardened his heart again. Then Aaron stretched out his rod and frogs came forth and crept over all the beds and eat up all the food and everything and he said he would let them go but he hardened his heart again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Origin and Growth of Religion: As Illustrated by the Religion of the Ancient Hebrews MY purpose in these Lectures is to give a short history, as clear as I can make it, Of the Religion of the Old Testament. By this I mean that I have endeavoured to group the religious material contained in that book in chronological order, and to trace the historical develop ment, which then becomes visible, from its beginning to its end. This beginning has been but lightly touched upon, partly because Of its extreme Obscurity and partly because of my own insufficient equipment to deal ade quately with so complex a problem; but more space has thus been won for the delineation of that phase Of the Jewish religion in which it stood at the close of the Old Testament period, and on the lines of which it was destined to develop for many subsequent centuries.

Download or read book A History of the Religion of Judaism written by Archibald Duff and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Religion of Judaism: 500 to 200 B. C I undertake this task, too large I fear for my power, for several reasons. First, after fifty years of strenuous toil in Montreal and in Bradford, in teaching to many what the Old Testament is, I feel that it would be wrong to throw away unused the mass of lectures I prepared for my classes by a great deal of busy search; so I publish some of my results now. Secondly, I am eager to see the Old Testament used. To say that actually it is almost unused is no exaggeration. I know this disuse is caused by mistaken theories and methods. Only the historical and critical method can bring men to use it; for it is a work of men, and only the Divinely human estimate of it and use of it will induce men to know it and to love it. Many ministers are afraid to use it afraid of its difficulties, afraid of funda mentalism. Let us play the man. Some unwise minister wished publicly a few days ago that this great Literature might be destroyed, buried in the ocean! That wish cannot be fulfilled, else jesus would be destroyed; for that Literature is part of Him. When the wonderful beauty and genuine humanity of its writers are seen, then its romance will win everybody. Since jesus was the Child of the Jewish People, therefore we cannot know Him really until we know the Old Testament.

Download or read book The Religion of Moses written by Adolph Moses and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Moses The little book which I offer to the public lays no claim to originality. It is rather hoped that the reader will find in it nothing that will seem new and startling to him. It is simply an attempt, made with much diffidence, to bring the basal moral and religious ideas of Yahvism or Jehovism into clear view, and to trace their origin back to their true source - to the inspired genius of Moses. For I hold, with the biblical tradition, that Moses was in the deepest and widest sense the founder of the religion of Israel. The prophets who came after him did not originate, but only developed and propagated the religion of ethical monotheism first promulgated by the son of Amram. My contention is that Mosaism never was a tribal religion. From the very day of its appearance it was universal in essence and scope.

It is called the old or the Mosaic law: besides the ten commandments, which have been since con firmed by our blessed Saviour, it contained many ordinances.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Moses to Qumran: Studies in the Old Testament F OR some years I have been requested by many friends to publish a volume of collected essays, and have only delayed to respond to the request because I lacked the time to prepare them for re - issue. Even now it has been impossible to give them the sort of revision I should have liked. The text is only slightly modified here and there, but I have made a number of addi tions to the footnotes, taking some account of publications which have been issued since these studies first appeared. It has been impossible to do this as thoroughly as I could have wished, and I express in advance my regret for any important omission. To make reference to everything that has appeared with any bearing on the many subjects here touched on would have given to these essays an encyclopaedic character that I cannot hope to achieve.
