Book excerpt: Excerpt from Allegories of GenesisThese short chapters were written from week to week from notes used in a course of mid-week lectures given to my Congregation.The interpretation of these early chapters of Genesis given in this little book lays no claim to originality; nor has it been the aim of the Author to be critical.

Download or read book The Two Creation Stories in Genesis written by James S. Forrester-Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Two Creation Stories in Genesis: A Study of Their Symbolism; With Footnotes, Appendices and Index Two distinct stories of creation are contained in the first three chapters of Genesis. They form the introduction to the Old Testament, and are occasionally referred to therein, but it cannot be said that any definite claim is made by the writers that these are documents which narrate actual history. Indeed, no historic validity appears to be ascribed to them in any of the sacred writings of the Hebrews. The fact of there being two accounts of creation in Genesis, one succeeding the other without explanation of any kind, has always been a puzzle to commentators, especially to those who attribute to them an historic basis. Many and varied are the views which have been expressed concerning them for centuries past. Attempts have even been made to show that the first creation story is, primarily, a revelation con cerning the geology of the earth.

Download or read book The Early Narratives of Genesis Classic Reprint written by James Orr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Narratives of Genesis The subject A nave Men asked to speak on is a large one, and is complicated with many questions - critical, archaeological, scientific, exegetical. You will therefore bear with me if many points have to be touched upon in a cursory manner, and if some things have to be omitted altogether on which you would probably wish to hear me Speak. The subject is the Early Narratives in the Book of Genesis. By the Early Narratives are to be understood the first eleven chapters of the Book - those which pre cede the times of Abraham. These chapters present peculiarities of their own, and I confine attention to them, although the critical treatment applied to them is not confined to these chapters, but extends through out the whole Book of Genesis, the Book of Exodus, and the later history with much the same result in reducing them to legend.

God singles out Abraham from an idolatrous people, and makes him the father of the chosen Nation. God passes by Ishmael and calls Isaac. In Genesis the truth of salvation is typically displayed. Our fallen first parents are clothed by God Himself, clothed with skins: to procure those skins death had to come in, blood must be shed, the innocent was slain in the stead of the guilty. Only thus could man 's shame be covered, and only thus could the sinner be fitted to stand before the thrice holy God.

Download or read book Moses Christ written by John H. Paton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moses Christ: Or the Plan of the World's Salvation, Illustrated by Bible Allegories This book first came into existence in response to the expressed wish of many readers of The World's Hope. In issuing a Revised Edition, I have gracefully to acknowledge the interest manifested in the little work, as evidenced by its comparatively rapid circulation, the general tone of the comments it has called out even from those not accepting all its teaching, by the earnest call of many for a new edition, and by their willingness to help. It evidently has been, as was hoped, a means of spiritual blessing to many. The special design of the book is to show that the characters and histories of Moses' writings, especially of the book of Generals, are pictures or allegories of the gospel plan. It is also designed, directly or indirectly, to present the general teaching of the Bible, and to show the fullness of God's Love underlying his Purpose and Plan in the Creation and Redemption of Mankind, - that is, in bringing the Race up to His own image. Reference is sometimes made in these pages to the book, "Day Dawn, or The Gospel in Typo and Prophecy." This work may properly be regarded as a sequel to that, being a further development of "The Gospel in Type and Prophecy."

Download or read book The Creation Story of Genesis I written by Hugo Radau and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Creation-Story of Genesis I: A Sumerian Theogony and Cosmogony The Right Rev. D. S. Tuttle, Bishop of Missouri, in delivering a sermon before a body of theological students on "How to make the people contribute liberally towards the support of the Church," remarked: "You must milk the cows! The more and the oftener you milk them, the more milk they will give." Although somewhat vulgar, yet the simile fits the case exactly. The same is true of the study of the Bible. The more we study it, the more we draw from it, the more it will yield: milk of life, - both for the soul and the brain! The same idea was also expressed by Dr. Martin Luther who compared the Bible to a beautiful and fruitful tree. The more and the oftener we pluck its fruit, the more it will give us. But not everybody knows "how to milk," nor does everybody know "how to pluck the fruits." If done carelessly and thoughtlessly, the "milking" as well as the "plucking of the fruit" may become dangerous, - we may fall from the tree! If there are some who thus fell from the tree while trying to pluck its fruit, who will dare to say that it was the tree's fault that the plucker fell down? Was it not, on the contrary, the plucker's own carelessness, his own fault? Exactly so it is with the "Higher Criticism." Higher criticism, if thoughtlessly and carelessly applied to the Bible, will and must be hurtful: not for the Bible, however, for it will remain undaunted, but for him who aspires to be a "higher critic." And how many there are who want to be what they cannot be: higher critics! A true higher critic's aim is not to destroy the Bible, but to understand it, - understand it historically. Thus he will apply the higher critical methods as given by "history." In history the divine will is carried out. The Bible when thus "read in the light of history" will yield fruits of which nobody ever dreamed, - fruits ripened in ages past and saved for our present times to gather. Indeed, the Bible is a wonderful tree with manifold fruits: tiny shoots have been engrafted on it from time to time by different gardeners, - shoots taken from other trees raised on foreign soil. These gardeners belonged to a people that was not surrounded by a "Chinese Wall," nor were they blind, deaf, or dumb. They had eyes and saw, ears and heard, mouths and spoke.

Download or read book Genesis a Translated from the Old English Classic Reprint written by Lawrence Mason and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genesis a Translated From the Old English The purpose of the translator in offering to the public this version of the Genesis is to aid in forwarding - be it by but one jot or tittle - the general knowledge and appreciation of Old English literature. Professed students in this department will always have an incentive to master the language; but to the public at large the strangeness of this medium will prove an insurmountable barrier, and the general reader must therefore either remain in ignorance of our older literary monuments or else employ translations. The present contribution to the growing body of such translations possesses, perhaps, more than a single interest or appeal, in that it renders accessible not only a poem of considerable intrinsic worth, a poem associated with the earliest of the great names in English literary history, and a forerunner and possible source of Paradise Lost, but also an important example of a literary genre once immensely popular, though now quite fallen into abeyance - namely, the lengthy versified Scriptural paraphrase. For some idea of the prominent part played by this form, even so late as the seventeenth century, the reader is referred to any comprehensive manual of English literature. In this translation, prose has been employed instead of verse, for two reasons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Beginning of Things in Nature and in Grace written by Joseph K. Wight and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginning of Things in Nature and in Grace: Or a Brief Commentary on Genesis It is evident that our interpretation of the Bible will depend very largely upon what we consider the Bible to be. If we look upon it simply as a human production among other human productions, - a system of religion among other systems, - then we shall expect mistakes, false standards, and false reasonings, as we do elsewhere. But if the Bible is exceptional - a revelation from God, and not merely the teachings of man, we shall expect to find it a transcript of his character - a pure, true, and safe guide in all that it professes to be. It is given to man as God's way of salvation from sin and death. In dealing with it, the question of authorship is our first question. The Word And Works Of God Equally From Him It is much the same with the word of God as with his works. Where did the heavens and the earth come from? Did God make them? or did solid ground come from nebulous matter and that we know not whence? If so, then we may believe in a chance law evolving an orderly cosmos out of chaos, in vegetable and animal, coming as the result of spontaneous generation, and man with his wonderful faculties and possibilities the descendant of Simian ancestors.

Download or read book The Book of Genesis Vol 1 written by Robert S. Candlish and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Genesis, Vol. 1: Expounded in a Series of Discourses The view taken in this Lecture I hold to be important, not only in its practical and spiritual bearings, on which I chiefly dwell, but also in relation to some of the scientific questions which have been supposed to be here involved. It lifts, as I think, the divine record out of and above these human entanglements, and presents it, apart from all discoveries of successive ages, in the broad and general aspect which it was designed from the first and all along to wear, as unfolding the Creator's mind in the orderly subordination of the several parts of his creation to one another, with special reference to his intended dealings with the race of man. On this account I ask attention to what otherwise might appear to somo to be an irrelevant metaphysical conceit. It is proposed, then, to inquire what is implied in our really believing, as a matter of revelation, the fact of the creation. This may seem a very needless inquiry, in reference to a fact so easily understood. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." "The worlds were framed by the word of God." Can any thing be easier than to comprehend and believe this great truth thus clearly revealed? Who can be at a loss to know what is meant by believing it?

Download or read book The Book of Genesis written by S. R. Driver and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Genesis: With Introduction and Notes The unexpected death of Dr Driver in 1914 has prevented any further revision of this Commentary, as he has left no materials available for the purpose. It is however worth mentioning that since the ninth edition appeared Dr Driver published a revised edition of his Introduction to the Lite rature of the Old Testament (9th Ed. 1913) and in the Addenda to that volume (pp. Xxvi - xxxiii) will be found a few notes bearing on Genesis, and particularly his last and fullest discussion of the controversy about the value of the Names of' God as a clue to the sources of the Pentateuch. He there refers with approval to articles in the Expositor by Dr Skinner, since republished in book form ('the Divine Names' in Genesis, Hodder and Stoughton and also to the Appendix in the Rev. D. C. Simpson s Pentateuchal Criticism (hodder and Stoughton, which was written at Dr Driver's suggestion and had the benefit of his revision. The ninth edition, of which this is a reprint, consequently represents the final form of this Commentary. The progress of Old Testament Criticism and of Oriental archaeological studies will doubtless modify particular statements in it, but the wide range of Dr Driver's knowledge, the accuracy of his scholarship and the sanity of his judgment cannot fail to secure a permanent value for all his work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Narratives of Genesis: A Brief Introduction to the Study of Genesis I-XI The doubts and questionings to which the Early Narratives of Genesis have frequently given rise are well known to those who have any acquaintance with the religious difficulties of our own time. They, indeed, have been fortunate in their experience who have not known an instance in which antagonism or indifference to religion has been fostered by the rigid refusal, on the part of well-meaning Christian parents and teachers, to admit the possibility of an alternative to the traditional interpretation of this portion of Scripture. Groundless as the supposition was, that a Christian when he reads the Book of Genesis must either renounce his confidence in the achievements of scientific research or abandon his faith in Scripture, it was, at one time, as widely prevalent as it was mischievous and false.
