Download or read book The Old Testament written by Richard S. Hess and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 966 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Respected Scholar Introduces Students to the Discipline of Old Testament Studies Richard Hess, a trusted scholar of the Old Testament and the ancient Near East, offers a substantial introduction to the Old Testament that is accessibly written and informed by the latest biblical scholarship. Hess summarizes the contents of the Old Testament, introduces the academic study of the discipline, and helps readers understand the complex world of critical and interpretive issues, addressing major concerns in the critical interpretation of each Old Testament book and key texts. This volume provides a fulsome treatment for students preparing for ministry and assumes no prior knowledge of the Old Testament. Readers will learn how each book of the Old Testament was understood by its first readers, how it advances the larger message of the whole Bible, and what its message contributes to Christian belief and the Christian community. Twenty maps, ninety photos, sidebars, and recommendations for further study add to the book's usefulness for students. Resources for professors are available through Baker Academic's Textbook eSources.
Download or read book Reading Joshua written by John Laughlin and published by Smyth & Helwys Publishing, Incorporated. This book was released on 2015 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reading Joshua" was written for anyone who wishes to engage critically one of the most, if not the most, problematic and troublesome books in the Bible. Using the best of current historical-critical studies by mainstream biblical scholars, and the most recent archeological discoveries and theorizing, Laughlin questions both the historicity of the stories presented in the book as well as the basic theological ideology presented through these stories: namely that Yahweh ordered the indiscriminate butchery of the Canaanites. This ideology is criticized for what it is: a xenophobic and genocidal approach to the issue of how human beings should act toward one another in a multi-cultural world. Read against the backdrop of the Babylonian Exile (sixth century BCE), these stories may have served well the purpose(s) of their author(s). Thus these troubling accounts may have had their time and place, but that time and place is not the twenty-first-century world in which we now find ourselves.
Download or read book A History of the Bible written by John Barton and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literary history of our most influential book of all time, by an Oxford scholar and Anglican priest In our culture, the Bible is monolithic: It is a collection of books that has been unchanged and unchallenged since the earliest days of the Christian church. The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of this fascinating text. In A History of the Bible, John Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process, which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. Barton shows how the Bible is indeed an important source of religious insight for Jews and Christians alike, yet argues that it must be read in its historical context--from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. It is a book full of narratives, laws, proverbs, prophecies, poems, and letters, each with their own character and origin stories. Barton explains how and by whom these disparate pieces were written, how they were canonized (and which ones weren't), and how they were assembled, disseminated, and interpreted around the world--and, importantly, to what effect. Ultimately, A History of the Bible argues that a thorough understanding of the history and context of its writing encourages religious communities to move away from the Bible's literal wording--which is impossible to determine--and focus instead on the broader meanings of scripture.

Excerpt: ...and their political safety in constant and it was dense darkness, behold, a. smoking furnace, and a flame of fire that passed between those pieces. 18. On that day the Lord made a. covenant with Abram, saying, danger (comp. Judg. ii. 1-3). Violence or avarice had no share in the conquest; for, according to the Biblical notions, God Himself gives to every people their land (Dent. xxxii. 8; Acts xvii. 26); the Israelites had no human right to the possession of Canaan; it was the gift and favour of God; if He had deemed that occupation an injustice, He would have given to His chosen people another land, the appropriation of which would not have come into collision with the lawful interests of others. However objectionable the conduct of the Hebrews may have been, the theology of the Pentatench is pure and stainless.--Thus, we avoid all unnecessary justifications of the alleged "invasion" of the Hebrews; for it is urged, that Canaan had, by Noah's distribution, fallen to the lot of the Shemitcs, not of the Hamitcs (Epiphanius); that it belonged, from times immemorial, to Abraham and his children, especially by the purchase of the cave of Machpelah, and of other property (Michaelis, Ewald, whereas, in fact, the Canaanites undoubtedly possessed it before the patriarch's time, xii. 6; xiii. 7, etc.); that the rights of property were, in those early times, not yet strictly defined, and that the Israelites were, therefore, entitled to conquer as much land as they required (! Faber, Hess; no doubt, with the inclusion of the carefully cultivated fields, and the well-built cities); we avoid these and all the other artificial attempts, which have been ably refuted by Hengstenberg (Authent. des Pcntat., ii. 47l--507). After the sun had set, ...
