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.

This book was released on 2016-11-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.'

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.

The de mand is really widespread, as any one in my position can testify; but thus far little has been done in England or America to meet it. The editor to whom the above appeal was made, therefore, recommended a translation of Dill mann's work, which, though Very valuable to those who are prepared to appreciate it, is too large, too learned, and too expensive for most students of the Bible. This state of things ought not to continue. A desire to do what I can to remedy it is my excuse for putting into print the following pages.

Download or read book The Pentateuch Classic Reprint written by Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch Scripture, is the name by which we designate that collection of writings which stand on a different footing from any other writings in the world, because they are, "inspired of God," or, as the word is rendered in the Authorised Version, "given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. iii. 16). Speaking of the Old Testament only, we know for certain which are the books to which this peculiar, this sacred character belongs; because the Canon, as it is called, of Holy Scripture is identically the same to-day as it was in the days of our Lord and His Apostles, and they always speak of Holy Scripture as possessing a Divine authority. To quote but one of many of the sayings of Jesus Christ, He says: "The Scripture cannot be broken" (John x.35); and He quotes it with the distinctive formula, "It is written" (Matt. iv. 4, 9, 10, &c.); and the Apostles everywhere refer to the same Holy Scriptures as an authority from which there is no appeal. The books contained in the Canon were divided by the Jews into three portions - the Law, the Prophets, and the Hagiographa; a division acknowledged by our Lord, who in Luke xxiv. 44 speaks of "the Law and the Prophets and the Psalms," the Psalms being the chief book comprised in the Hagiographa.

Download or read book Outlines of an Introduction to the Old Testament Classic Reprint written by John Walter Beardslee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of an Introduction to the Old Testament These Outlines are the outgrowth of fifteen years of study and teaching. They are designed simply to indicate the lines along which study is demanded if one is to understand the teachings of the Old Testa ment. NO effort has been made to present an exhaust ive review of the ideas which have been advanced by others in regard to these remarkable books, or to give completeness to the views of the author. Only such points as seem necessary to a correct understanding of the text are presented and these are stated in the briefest form, with such references as may guide the way to further study. If the position here taken seem conservative, it is not because the writer has ignored the later criticism or underestimates its value, but because the newer ideas do not seem to be sufficiently established to demand the abandonment of the older. Great gain has already come from the learned and laborious investigations of the new school of criticism and we hope for still richer fruitage in the future, but the results thus far secured are too vague to become a satisfactory basis for the interpretation of Scripture.

Download or read book Introduction to the Old Testament written by John Edgar McFadyen and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to the Old Testament by John Edgar McFadyen Excerpt THE ORDER OF THE BOOKS In the English Bible the books of the Old Testament are arranged, not in the order in which they appear in the Hebrew Bible, but in that assigned to them by the Greek translation. In this translation the various books are grouped according to their contents-first the historical books, then the poetic, and lastly the prophetic. This order has its advantages, but it obscures many important facts of which the Hebrew order preserves a reminiscence. The Hebrew Bible has also three divisions, known respectively as the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
