Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lands and Peoples of the Bible The substance of the following chapters was delivered in lecture form to a class of young men and women during the winter of 1913-14. A few minor additions and corrections have since been made, but the bulk of the material remains as originally delivered. The volume is now published in the hope that Bible students, and possibly teachers of Bible classes, may find it useful in the way of providing a background upon which to project the Scripture narrative, and of enabling the reader to form some conception of the great lands and nations with which the Chosen People had to deal. Such a volume, of course, can lay no claim to originality; for its main function is to present in small compass facts for which the student might otherwise have to seek through many large and costly treatises. Accordingly the reader who is familiar with the literature will be able to trace in each section the writer's debt to the great masters of the subject which is being dwelt with - a debt which is here gratefully acknowledged, just as it has been acknowledged wherever possible, in the text. It is hoped that the value of the book as a medium of instruction may be greatly enhanced by the fulness of its scheme of illustration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bible Lands: Their Modern Customs and Manners Illustrative of Scripture In every nation, however, usages are found which can not be explained or accounted for by a reference to the physical char acter of the country. These customs have an historical original, lost and forgotten, perhaps, in the lapse of time, but still main taining its sway over the minds and manners of those who have inherited them. The fact that the customs now prevalent in Bible lands are so different from those of the West, and yet es sentially identical with the ancient manners of the East, is of the greatest practical importance to the Biblical student. The Hebrew commonwealth has perished; its people are scattered among all the nations of the earth, whose manners they have adopted. The principal clue, therefore, to what they once were, and our chief means of explaining much that is obscure in Holy Writ, will be found in the customs of the modern East. And we prepose, in the second part of the present work, to consider all such details of Oriental life as appear to have, in the main, an historical origin.

Download or read book The Bible History of the Holy Land Classic Reprint written by John Kitto and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 788 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible History of the Holy Land The History of the Hebrew people, may be most conveniently commenced with the call of Abraham, which, according to Hales, took place in the year of the world 3258, after the deluge 1062 years, and 2153 years before the birth of Christ. The ages which had passed since the deluge, concurring with the still long duration of human life, had again replenished with people the regions around the original seats of the human race. That great event, the confusion of tongues, which occurred 600 years after the deluge, must have greatly accelerated, and even compelled, more energetic movements than had previously taken place. The descendants of Shem appear to have extended themselves gradually over the regions east and north-east of the river Tigris; the children of Japhet spread themselves into Asia Minor, whence it was their ultimate destination to be impelled into Europe, and to fill the length and breadth of that continent. The posterity of Ham remained in chief possession of Mesopotamia; they also formed settlements at the head of the Persian Gulf, in Arabia, and in Canaan; they established empires in Assyria and Egypt; and, as their numbers multiplied, they advanced into Ethiopia, and other remoter parts of the African peninsula. See note at end of the chapter. The history of Japhet srace is a blank in the early accounts of the Scriptures; and that of Shems is little more. The sacred historian confines his notice to one family of Shems descendants; and the intercourse of that family with the races of Ham, is the circumstance which evolves far more information concerning their early history and condition than we possess concerning any of the other descendants of Noah. From all that history tells, they appear to have been the first authors of the arts of civilisation and social life. But, remembering the other races of which authentic history takes no occasion to speak, this need not be positively affirmed. That, however, very important advancements had, even in this remote age, been made by the posterity of Ham, appears very plainly in the early intercourse of the Hebrew patriarchs with Egypt. A division of the posterity of Canaan, the youngest son of Ham, left the Arabian shores of the Red Sea, and settled in the country whose history we have undertaken to write;. and they gave to it the name of their father, from whom also they are, collectively, called Canaanites.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holy Land and Holy Writ There is no originality in this linking together of the Bible and Palestine on our title page. It has been gracefully done by both Thomson and Geikie. In fact it can hardly be avoided; for the book, to be understood, must be illustrated by the habits of the people among whom it was written, and to be beautiful, must be illustrated by the vistas of Palestine's moun tains, plains, and waters; and on the other hand, the land would be a most unprofitable one for the traveler in saddle or in spirit, without its life history and without the halo that Scripture hangs around it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Domine in Bible Lands HY another book on Bible Lands? It may be asked of one who rashly ventures to inflict it on a reading public, already in pos session Of a varied and copious literature on the subject. There are books of solid instruction by distinguished Biblical scholars and careful explorers, and books of charming description and word-painting, or of travel and adventure pleasantly told - books for the student and books for the popular taste - is there any room for more, unless to relate new discoveries or to present the impressions of one who already holds the ear of the public? And what place is there for a book that professes to Offer nothing new in the way of scholarly investigation, and cannot make its appeal to the curiosity which desires to know what a great man thinks about the things he has seen? These are pertinent questions that occurred to the author when partial friends proposed to him to publish the narrative of his sight-seeing in Egypt and the Holy Land. It had not been his purpose to do this. He can truly say, to adapt the language of St. Paul, if any minister ever went to Egypt and the Holy Land without expectation of making a book on his return, I more. But after his return, in order to Share with his congregation the pleasure and profit derived from the trip, he delivered a series of Sunday evening discourses in his own church, going over the ground so often traversed, that his people might see with his eyes and Obtain his views of those lands of universal interest. These lectures were received so kindly, and their author was so strongly urged to put them before a larger audience through the press, that he yielded to persuasion; in hope that what had proved useful at home might prove not less useful elsewhere.

Download or read book Walking the Bible written by Bruce Feiler and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An instant classic. . . . A pure joy to read.” —Washington Post Book World Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the Bible presents one man’s epic journey- by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel- through the greatest stories ever told. From crossing the Red Sea to climbing Mount Sinai to touching the burning bush, Bruce Feiler’s inspiring odyssey will forever change your view of history’s most legendary events. The stories in the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Torah, come alive as Feiler searches across three continents for the stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews. You’ll visit the slopes of Mount Ararat, where Noah’s ark landed, trek to the desert outpost where Abraham first heard the words of God, and scale the summit where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Using the latest archeological research, Feiler explores how physical location affects the larger narrative of the Bible and ultimately realizes how much these places, as well as his experience, have affected his faith. A once-in-a-lifetime journey, Walking the Bible offers new insights into the roots of our common faith and uncovers fresh answers to the most profound questions of the human spirit. “Smart and savvy, insightful and illuminating.” —Los Angeles Times “An exciting, well-told story informed by Feiler’s boundless intellectual curiosity . . . [and] sense of adventure.” —Miami Herald
