Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Testament History and Literature What is believed to be a unique feature of the book is the paraphrasing of the epistles and the apocalypse in modern, untechnical language. This last section in each of the later chapters, it is hoped, will help Bible students to get a clear, comprehensive grasp of the main teachings in each book. Another feature, it is hoped, that will be helpful to young students, busy pastors, and Sunday school teachers, is the bibliography given at the end of the book. Each student should provide himself with two other reference books from these lists - especially with the commentaries suggested in parts II-V.

Download or read book New Testament History and Literature written by Dale B. Martin and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this engaging introduction to the New Testament, Professor Dale B. Martin presents a historical study of the origins of Christianity by analyzing the literature of the earliest Christian movements. Focusing mainly on the New Testament, he also considers nonbiblical Christian writings of the era. Martin begins by making a powerful case for the study of the New Testament. He next sets the Greco-Roman world in historical context and explains the place of Judaism within it. In the discussion of each New Testament book that follows, the author addresses theological themes, then emphasizes the significance of the writings as ancient literature and as sources for historical study. Throughout the volume, Martin introduces various early Christian groups and highlights the surprising variations among their versions of Christianity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literature and History of New Testament Times, Vol. 1: The Historical Background of Christianity, the Early History of Christianity The general purpose of this course of lessons has been set forth in the introduction to the Students d104 Book. There is a tendency in the modern Church to neglect the study of Bible history. Such neglect will inevitably result in a loss of power. The gospel is a record of something that has happened, and uncertainty about the gospel is fatal weakness. Furthermore the historical study of the apostolic age - that age when divine revelation established the great principles of the Church's - life is the best corrective for a thousand vagaries. Much can be learned from modern pedagogy; but after all what is absolutely fundamental, both for teacher and for student, is an orderly acquaintance with the Bible facts. The Teacher's Manual, therefore, is intended not merely to offer suggestions as to methods of teaching, but primarily to supplement the teachers knowledge. A teacher who knows only what he actually imparts to the class is inevitably dull. The true teacher brings forth out of his treasure things new and old. The sections in the Teachers Manual, since they are intended to be supplementary, should not be read until after careful attention has been paid to the corresponding sections in the Students d104 Book. Moreover, both sections together are of course in themselves insufficient. They should be supplemented by other reading. Suggestions about reading have been put at the end of every lesson. Here, however, a few general remarks may be made. Davis "Dictionary of the Bible" and Purves' "Christianity in the Apostolic Age," which have been recommended even to the student, will be to the teacher almost invaluable. The earnest teacher will also desire to refer to good commentaries on The Acts. The commentaries which have been mentioned in connection with the individual lessons are based upon the English Bible; but every teacher who has any knowledge of Greek, however slight, should use, instead, the commentary of Knowling, in "The Expositor's Greek Testament." For the life of Paul, Lewin's "Life and Epistles of St. Paul" and the similar book of Conybeare and Howson are still very valuable for their vivid and extended descriptions of the scenes of the missionary journeys.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament in Life and Literature The very kind reception given by reviewers and by the public to "The Old Testament in Life and Literature" has been my chief encouragement in completing the present volume for the press. I am especially grateful for the interesting letters I have received from ministerial and other readers in every part of the country, and for the many assurances conveyed to me that the work has proved helpful to preachers well as to private students of the Holy Scriptures. The plan of the earlier book having been generally approved, I have adopted it in illustrating the New Testament. The material has been gathered in my private reading, spread over a number of years, and nothing whatever has been borrowed from anthologies or homiletic sources. Foreign literature has again been largely used, and with a few exceptions mentioned in the footnotes, all translations have been made at first hand. I have once more enjoyed the great advantage of counsel and guidance from Sir W.Robertson Nicoll, and my heartiest thanks are due to him for sympathetic aid during the entire progress of the work. I thank my publishers, and especially Mr. J. E. Hodder Williams, for the very kind personal interest they have shown in both volumes, and Mr. G.L. Thomson of the Aberdeen University Press for the care and accuracy of the setting. On the last point let me add that in a work of this kind it is almost impossible wholly to avoid verbal errors, and I shall gratefully receive and acknowledge any corrections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Historical New Testament: Being the Literature of the New Testament Arranged in the Order of Its Literary Growth and According to the Dates of the Documents Apart from the translation, the main feature of originality within these pages consists of the leading idea which domin ates the volume, and of the way in which this idea has been executed. The critical materials constitute what either are or ought to be more or less familiar positions upon the lines of modern NT research; but they are grouped under a scheme which, so far as I am aware, is quite unique.l Briefly put, the design is to arrange that selection of early Christian literature which is known as the New Testament in the order of its literary growth, and at the same time to indicate the chief grounds upon which such an order may be deter mined or disputed. This aim, with its difficulties, utility, and limitations, I have discussed in the Prolegomena. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of New Testament History The present is a companion volume to the Outlines Of Jewish History published some months ago. It deals with the historical data supplied by the inspired writings Of the New Testament, in exactly the same manner as the pre ceding work did with the various events recorded in the sacred books Of the Old Testament. In both volumes the writer has pursued the same purpose and followed the same methods. Both works have been prepared for the special use Of theological students, not, however, without the hope that they may prove serviceable to a much larger number Of readers, such as teachers Of Bible history in Sunday-schools, colleges, academies, and the like. In neither volume has it been the aim Of the writer to supply a substitute for the Bible itself, but rather a help towards a more careful perusal Of the inspired record. With this purpose in view, he has set forth such results of modern investigation as may render the sacred narrative more intelligible and attractive. Many Of the difficulties which are daily being raised on historical grounds are also touched upon, and the biblical student is supplied with constant references to further sources of in formation.

Download or read book New Testament History Classic Reprint written by G. W. Wade and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Testament History The present work is intended to be a companion volume to my Old Testament History (first published in 1901). But the shorter period needing to be covered, and the greater importance of the subject have rendered both possible and desirable a difference in the manner of treatment; and of the three parts into which the book is divided two are devoted to introductory matter. The first of these embraces a description of Palestine in New Testament times; an historic sketch of the causes producing the political and religious conditions of that country at the beginning of the first century A.D.; some account of the external circumstances, Roman and Jewish, obtaining in the same period; and a short review of the literary tradition inherited by the Now Testament writers. The second, besides describing the principal MSS. and Versions of the New Testament and the methods of textual criticism, comprises a detailed investigation of the historical value of the separate New Testament books. In order, however, to preclude misapprehension, it is necessary to qualify what has just been said by adding that the sketch of Jewish history is restricted to such matters as explain the circumstances mentioned or implied in the New Testament, and that the inquiry into the origin and authority of the New Testament writings does not extend to those of the Pauline Epistles which are sufficiently widely recognized to be genuine for their composition by St. Paul to be here taken for granted. The third and principal part of the volume contains a narrative of our Lord's ministry, based on the earliest sources; an account of the Christian Church during the period included in the Book of Acts; and an attempt to trace the development of theological thought in successive groups of New Testament documents.

Download or read book The Evolution of the New Testament Classic Reprint written by John Elliotson Symes and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of the New Testament The little volume which we call the New Testament has had more influence on the world than the whole literature of England or France. It consists of twenty-seven books, written eighteen centuries ago, in a degenerate form of Greek, by authors of Jewish race and scanty learning. Nevertheless, millions of persons still turn to the New Testament for guidance and for consolation. Such persons should surely wish to know in what order and in what circumstances these twenty-seven books were written; how many of them may be assigned to their traditional authors; what motives animated these men; whether any of the books are compilations from earlier documents; and how they came to occupy their unique position among Christian writings. Such questions will also interest, if to a less degree, those who reject Christianity, but are yet too wise to neglect or despise a literature merely because they do not share the views which it expresses. Moreover, we have here to do with a literature which has been the textbook of that religion on which modern civilization has to a great extent been built up, a religion which remains to-day one of the greatest of living forces. Many of the critics who in modern times have thrown light on the New Testament have themselves been unbelievers; but they have realized that the subject is one of profound interest and importance, and they have devoted immense learning and ability to its elucidation. Forty years ago some of these critics attributed most of the New Testament books to unknown writers of the second century, but it is now generally agreed that this attribution was based on insufficient grounds.
