Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women of the Bible IN this book, the author has sought to contemplate Woman precisely as the inspired pen has represented her, so far as she has arisen to view in the divine history of God's providential and gracious dispensa tions to mankind, and so far as that pen may have sketched more didactically her true position and duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of Women of the Bible: Old Testament Series The following character-sketches were given in the ordinary course of my pulpit ministrations. The members of the congregation were interested in them during their delivery, and the suggestion was made that they might be put into a more permanent form hence this volume. The title of the book sufficiently describes its aim; the lectures are pen-portraits, and the endeavour has been to faithfully reproduce the living features of the original. I have ventured, however, in one or two of the sketches - as e.g. In the case of Rizpah - to fill up that which was lacking in the Scripture narrative in order to give a measure of completeness to the portrait. In others a few simple lessons are suggested; but for the most part the character-sketch is allowed to speak for itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical and Descriptive Sketches of the Women of the Bible, From Eve of the Old to the Marys of the New Testament It was not the design of adding essentially to Biblical Literature, neither the cacoethes scribendi, that induced the Author to increase the number of similar works which have appeared. It was the suggestion of another, enforced by the consideration, that while there are elegant Gift Books of Female Scripture Biography, there is no volume of the kind for more general reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Women of the Bible: Delineated in a Series of Sketches of Prominent Females Mentioned in Holy Scripture; By Clergymen of the United States Who that has ever read the story of Hagar, has not felt himself enchained by its almost matchless attractions? The incidents of which it is composed, - can any thing be more touching and beautiful, more illustrative Of the simplicity of the patriarchal age, or of the strangely diversified Operations Of human nature, or of the movements Of a Wise and wonder-working Providence? And the materials are moulded with admirable skill and effect. Throughout the whole narrative, it is nature herself speaking with inimitable grace and tenderness. And herein consists the charm of Scripture narratives generally: there is an unstudied ease about them, which no words can describe and no art can counterfeit. Among the manifold evidences that the Bible is the product of divine inspiration, this is not to be overlooked - that the pictures Of characters and scenes which it pre sents far transcend the highest human Skill; so that we are forced to the conclusion that they must have been sketched by a divine hand, and with colors which Heaven alone can supply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroines of History: Typical Heroines of Mythology, of Shakespeare, of the Bible The heroic element in woman's character receives more or less emphasis in all forms of literature and in every period of history. Wherever found it is one and the same vir tue. But it may be associated with very dissimilar mental qualities and very unlike ethical notions in different individuals, races, and ages. The historic heroine may differ widely in her moral and mental entirety from any heroine of poetry or romance - any crea tion of the imagination. The heroine of the Bible may not as a type correspond in the unity of her womanhood to the Greek heroine of mythology. But when we find the strong, splendid virtue of heroism in historical or fictitious, in real or ideal, in scriptural or mythological character, it is ever one and the same thing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Girls of the Bible Hebrew women from the first played a prominent part in the history of their race. Among them were poets, prophets, leaders and saviours of their people. Miriam was second only to Moses and Aaron in the councils of the Israelites; Deborah held the highest political office among the tribes - that of Judge, since there was no king in her day. Moreover, Deborah was'a prophetess regarded with especial favor by the Lord. It was Hannah who dedicated Samuel to God, a deed which made her prominent among the mothers of Israel; and Ruth and Esther have given their names to books of the Bible. Women were chosen by Christ to be His friends and were instructed in religion as carefully as were the men. The venerable Anna hailed the infant Jesus as the Messiah, and an archangel announced the birth of the Holy Child to Mary, the most blessed of women.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrious Women of Bible and Catholic Church History: Narrative Biographies of Grand Female Characters of the Old and New Testaments, and of Saintly Women of the Holy Catholic Church, Both in Earlier and Later Ages In truth, whether the traveler stands entranced before the west fronts Of Amiens, Rheims, or Bourges, or the glorious south and north porches of Chartres, or the splendors Of St. Mark's at Venice, or the shining basilicas Of Orvieto and Assisi, it is the same sublime theme that commands his attention in every one of these great epics in stone. Each temple is the Book of the Lamb, written within and without. These stupendous structures, brought to completion by the generosity and joint labor of centuries, are so many Bibles ever open to the people, keeping fresh in their minds the whole cycle Of Divine truths, from the creation Of the world to the final judgment.

Download or read book Women of the New Testament Classic Reprint written by Walter F. Adeney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women of the New Testament Although this volume appears in the series which contains Dr. Horton's beautiful studies of the women of the Old Testament, I desire to state that it is not my aim to attempt a sequel to that delightful work. Fortunately any such ambitious design is precluded by the entire change of situation and atmosphere which comes in with the dawning of the Christian era. Those old-world stories of patriarchal times, familiar to us from our childhood, yet ever fresh and abounding in vivid details, demand a dramatic treatment and a picturesque setting. It is fortunate when they fall to the pen of a writer whose imaginative skill is adequate to the task of setting them out in their variegated hues. When we pass on to the New Testament we find that although women still play an important part in the history, the scenes among which they move, and the style of narrative in which these are described, are of an entirely different character. For the most part we have but the most meagre hints concerning the characters and doings of the women of the gospel and apostolic times.

Download or read book The Greater Men and Women of the Bible written by James Hastings and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greater Men and Women of the Bible: Adam Joseph The desire of the Editor Of The Greater Men and Women of the Bible is to make the preaching of the present day accurate and attractive. It must attract the attention and win the heart of hearers, otherwise it makes little or no impression. One of the surest ways of securing attractiveness is a restrained use of illus trations. Touch the imagination and the heart is almost won. The illustrations in this series of books are fresh, being for the most part taken from books that have been published quite recently. And they are carefully chosen so as to make the point clear and telling. But present-day preaching must also be accurate. The Men and Women of the Bible are often chosen as subjects for popular lectures, and sometimes little attention is paid to the truth of the lecture if only it is popular. In these volumes the most author itative books have been consulted and used, so that the statements contained in them may be relied upon With confidence. Criticism is kept subordinate to construction, as it should always be in the pulpit, but the work of the critic is not forgotten any more than that of the discoverer.
