Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Book of the Old and New Testament, Vol. 14 The second part of the Old Testament, the Apocrypha (see Section contains two classes of writings: 1. Those which were originally written in Greek; 2. Those which are Greek translations of Hebrew works. They formed an appendix to the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible the additions to Esther and Daniel were introduced in the proper places in the Greek translation of those books. For when, after the foundation of Alexandria in Egypt, many Jews settled in that city for commercial purposes, they, by degrees, forgot their mother tongue. They learned to speak Greek. Hence arose the necessity for a translation into Greek, of the Old Testament, which they could no longer read in Hebrew. This translation was used in the synagogues. Thus arose the Greek translation of the Old Testament, bearing the name of Septuagint (septuaginta), which, beyond a doubt, is the most ancient version of the older Scriptures. To this translation were sub joined the apocryphal books, which thus gradually came into use. The time of the origin of these apocryphal works falls in the centuries that immediately preceded the advent of Christ. Some of them, however, for example, Judith, are later than the public ministry of our Lord. (more exact statements are given under the several books of the Apo crypha.) Among the books of the New Testament, the letters of Paul take precedence in point of time. His apostolical labours and the tounda tion and instruction of Christian communities by him, gave him first, among all apostles, occasion for the composition of his letters. Of these we possess thirteen. The time of their origin begins about the middle of the first century of our era, that is, about from eighteen to twenty years after the Saviour's death. Reference to lost letters of Paul is made in these passages, namely, 1 Cor. V. 9, and Coloss. Iv. 16. Paul was followed by Peter, James, Jude, and John, letters from whose pens have been preserved to the present time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Book of the Old and New Testament, Vol. 14 This is a book of results. Its author professes to lay before his readers "the sure results" gained by theological criticism within the last half century. The report is made by one, who, though orthodox in religious belief, is a scholar of Gesenius and Dc Wette in theology. As a summary of these results, the book has been chosen and translated, since it will afford the assailants of the Bible in this country, reason to think that they have assumed too jubilant a tone, and since it will supply to its friends solid grounds for the conviction that their alarm has been undue. Let. those who suppose that the Bible has received fatal blows from German criticism here satisfy themselves how little impression has been thereby made on its substance. A writer of the Rationalistic school in theology has been preferred because such an one may be believed to report all the damage that the Scriptures have suffered from criticism, while one of conservative tendencies would have been open to suspicion. To what extent the results here set forth are "sure" in their negations, is, with the Translator, a point of secondary consequence. His main purpose has been to afford to the negative criticism of Germany an opportunity of allowing English students to judge how inconsiderable is the breach which it has been able to make in the walls of Zion. Some notes are added by the Translator, which may tend to prove that its assaults arc more numerous than its victories.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Books of the Old Testament: With Analyses and Illustrative Literature Hebrew Bible, as best suited to our plan, because, while that order ignores the date of composition and formal contents, it harmonizes with an apparent design in the unfolding of ruling ideas. The Triple Division the Law, the Prophets, and the Hagiographa - gives us three clearly defined ideas, viz.: The Law is the foun dation of the whole revelation, the special discipline by which a chosen race was trained from a savage wilful ness to the accomplishment of its divine work. The Prophets portray the struggles of the same people when they come into closer connection with the kingdoms of the world, and were led to look for the inward antitypes of the outward precepts. The Hagiographa carry the divine lesson yet further, and Show its working in the various phases of individual life, and in relation to the great problems of thought and feeling, which pre sent themselves by a necessary law in the later stages of civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American popular hero has deeply bipolar origins: Depending on prevailing attitudes about the use or abuse of authority, American heroes may be rooted in the traditions of the Roman conquerors of The Aeneid or of the biblical underdog warriors and prophets. This book reviews the history of American popular culture and its heroes from the Revolutionary War and pre-Civil War "women's literature" to the dime novel tales of Jesse James and Buffalo Bill. "Hinge-heroes" like The Virginian and the Rider's of the Purple Sage paved the way for John Wayne's and Humphrey Bogart's champions of civilization, while Jimmy Stewart's scrappy rebels fought soulless bankers and cynical politicians. The 1960s and 1970s saw a wave of new renegades--the doctors of MASH and the rebel alliance of Star Wars--but early 21st Century terrorism called for the grit of world weary cops and the super-heroism of Wonder Woman and Black Panther to make the world safe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An Indispensable Resource for Old Testament Studies" The present work is an attempt to evaluate the contents of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha against the vast background of knowledge that is now available for students of ancient Near Eastern life and culture. (From the Preface) With characteristic understatement, R. K. Harrison embarked on this massive attempt and produced a volume that for scrupulous detail, scholarly rigor, and sheer erudition has remained unmatched for nearly fifty years. Writing from his own apparently limitless scholarship combined with a conservative perspective, Harrison first reviews the entire history of Old Testament criticism and sets the Hebrew scriptures in their full historical and theological context. He then presents a detailed discussion of each Old Testament book, along with a lucid overview of the apocryphal books. Harrison s engagement of the perennial issues and problems of Old Testament scholarship make this classic text a vital foundation for a new generation of scholars. For contemporary Old Testament studies, this highly respected volume continues to be the essential point of departure."

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Introduction to the Old Testament the Text The subject of the Canon of the Old Testament was discussed in a previous volume. The history of its formation was traced, the determining principle of its collection was considered, and the books contained in it were identified. One who is entering upon the study of these books will further desire to inquire into the character and condition of their text. The first thing to engage attention is the language in which the Old Testament was originally written, in its relation to other forms of human speech, and its special adaptation to be the vehicle of this preliminary revelation. The history of Hebrew as a living language will bring to light diversities of usage in different styles of composition and in different periods of time; and it is a matter of interest and importance to inquire whether any facts ascertained tend to discredit the genuineness of the books of Moses in whole or in part. And the history of its study since Hebrew ceased to be spoken will show what reason there is to believe that it is correctly understood by modem scholars. The changes which have taken place in its written characters naturally suggest the inquiry whether they have in any way proved detrimental to the accuracy with which the text has been preserved, or have injuriously affected its interpretation.

Download or read book The Charge of God s Royal Children written by Timothy Howe and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Charge of God’s Royal Children uses the tools of literary criticism (e.g., structure, plot, repetition, rhetorical aims, etc.) to analyze the explicit references to the imago Dei in Gen 1:26–28, 5:1–3, and 9:6 and how these references relate to one another and the developing narrative. The work proposes that the imago Dei (e.g., humanity as God’s Royal Children) functions as a governing evaluative concept throughout Genesis 1–11, providing a standard by which the reader should evaluate the decisions and actions of the characters.
