Book excerpt: "One of the more momentous books of the decade." —The New York Times Book Review Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a hair’s breadth, and became a national sensation as a blogger—all by the time he was thirty. He solidified his standing as the nation's foremost political forecaster with his near perfect prediction of the 2012 election. Silver is the founder and editor in chief of the website FiveThirtyEight. Drawing on his own groundbreaking work, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data. Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society, because most of us have a poor understanding of probability and uncertainty. Both experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the “prediction paradox”: The more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the future. In keeping with his own aim to seek truth from data, Silver visits the most successful forecasters in a range of areas, from hurricanes to baseball to global pandemics, from the poker table to the stock market, from Capitol Hill to the NBA. He explains and evaluates how these forecasters think and what bonds they share. What lies behind their success? Are they good—or just lucky? What patterns have they unraveled? And are their forecasts really right? He explores unanticipated commonalities and exposes unexpected juxtapositions. And sometimes, it is not so much how good a prediction is in an absolute sense that matters but how good it is relative to the competition. In other cases, prediction is still a very rudimentary—and dangerous—science. Silver observes that the most accurate forecasters tend to have a superior command of probability, and they tend to be both humble and hardworking. They distinguish the predictable from the unpredictable, and they notice a thousand little details that lead them closer to the truth. Because of their appreciation of probability, they can distinguish the signal from the noise. With everything from the health of the global economy to our ability to fight terrorism dependent on the quality of our predictions, Nate Silver’s insights are an essential read.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Preaching for Priests and People: Twenty-Five Short Sermons on Doctrinal and Historical Subjects With a Synopsis of Each Sermon The importance of this state of future being forms no portion of the present discourse. We know that for the spiritual part of our existence the whole work of the redemption was undertaken, and upon its eternal welfare is the entire energy of the Church expended. In all his troubles and afflictions the religious man consoles himself with the same con viction that lightened the trials of holy Job, and made even the pagan Roman poet cry out though for a different reason N on omnis moriar I shall not wholly die. But, however firm may be our belief in immortality, we must never forget that outside the domain of faith there exists, and has ever existed, a widespread area of doubt, and even negation, where the truths which we regard as the commonplaces of belief are looked Upon as nothing better than illusions and chimeras.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sermon on the Mount: A Practical Exposition There is no plant in the spiritual garden of the Church of England which at the present moment needs more diligent watering and tending than the practical, devotional study of Holy Scripture. The extent to which spiritual sloth, or reaction against Protestant individualism, or the excuse of critical difficulties is allowed to minister to the neglect of this most necessary practice, is greatly to be deplored. It is surprising in how few parts of the Bible critical difficulties, be they what they may, need be any bar to its practical use.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Re-Statements of Christian Doctrine: In Twenty-Five Sermons Although hardly any two of these sermons were written with reference to each other, and not one of them with any thought of publication, a certain plan will be observed in their arrangement. I intended, at first, to style the volume by what is now only the run ning title, The Re-adjustment of Faith but the un willingness to be thought to claim success in a'work in which I am only an humble striver, induced me to sur render the name. A chief effort of my whole ministry has been to meet, not the scholastic, but the practical and spiritual difficulties which, in our day, make faith in Christianity so hard to thousands of the more thoughtful and educated class. My Object has steadily been to awaken spiritual apprehension without wound ing intellectual laws; and with a profound respect for the understanding, to keep it in its due subordination to still higher faculties of the soul.

Download or read book A History of the English Bible as Literature written by David Norton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-05-29 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and condensed from David Norton's acclaimed A History of the Bible as Literature, this book, first published in 2000, tells the story of English literary attitudes to the Bible. At first jeered at and mocked as English writing, then denigrated as having 'all the disadvantages of an old prose translation', the King James Bible somehow became 'unsurpassed in the entire range of literature'. How so startling a change happened and how it affected the making of modern translations such as the Revised Version and the New English Bible is at the heart of this exploration of a vast range of religious, literary and cultural ideas. Translators, writers such as Donne, Milton, Bunyan and the Romantics, reactionary Bishops and radical students all help to show the changes in religious ideas and in standards of language and literature that created our sense of the most important book in English.
