Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Testament Parables IN the following pages an attempt is made to present a faithful exposition and interpretation of what I regard as the Old Testament Parables. The first chapter explains how the list of Parables has been compiled. At no stage of the study are their possibilities of Gospel interpretation or evangelical application overlooked. Not enough is it for us to know their meaning in their own day; we must ask what message, if any, they had for Jesus in whose hands even the dross of the Old Testament was, as Harnack says, changed into gold; its hidden treasures were brought forth but most of all, we must learn their possible value to ourselves in an age when the Old Testament begins to live anew and with an ever-increasing appeal. Acknowledgment of quotations and references has been rendered in the text, but upon a subject whose literature is distinguished by its paucity I have been a grateful gleaner in many fields of Whatever seemed apposite and illuminating. The translations which preface each parable have been construed from a careful reading and com parison of the Septuagint, the Massoretic Hebrew Text and various English translations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parables of the Old Testament F the matter contained in these pages, a small portion has already been published in a series of articles in the Quiver; the greater part is new. It will be seen at once that the work has no claim to originality or independent research or to that wealth of imagination and learning which has made Trench's Notes on the Parables of the New Testament one of the most valuable books of our generation. It addresses itself to simple readers; and is merely a help to Bible reading. Its object is to group together in right connexion and gradation all the phases of parabolic teaching by comparison which present themselves in the Old Testament; to suggest the study of certain striking passages, which are usually too apt to be overlooked and to bring out - what in these days it is especially meces sary to dwell upon - the preparatory character (in this respect as in others) of the teaching of the older Scriptures, leading up to the perfect-revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parables of Our Lord This parable had to be spoken. It gave ex pression to thoughts which burdened the mind of Jesus throughout His ministry. On the day He uttered it, he had left the house and was sitting by the sea-side, and there were gathered unto Him great multitudes. He had no difficulty in finding an audience. It is one of the greatest pleasures to listen to a good speaker. It is a pleasure which attracts young and old, rich and poor, educated and uneducated. A good speaker is always sure of an audience, and especially where he has not to encounter the rivalry of books. But as Jesus watched the crowd assembling, and perceived the various dispositions with which the people came, He could not but reflect how much of what He had to say must certainly be lost on many. He knew He had that to tell men which. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parables Them that Jehovah had selected a Syrian leper to be healed and to a Sidonian woman had given back her son. Their own history showed that He was not the God of the Hebrews only but the God of the Gentiles also; and the King dom which their prophets foretold was not a Hebrew Kingdom only but a world Kingdom. And all they in the Synagogue says the sacred historian, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him'down headlong, but he passing through the midst of them went his way. Ever after Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of God in parables that seeing they might see and not perceive. He veiled the truth which unveiled had been rejected with such wrath, and he did so that they might listen to him without perceiving the truth to which they would refuse to listen if they did perceive it, and that so he might conduct them to his predetermined destination while they did not even know that they were on the jour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parables of Jesus In the New Testament, the term parable (greek parabole, a placing beside or Opposite, comparison) is likewise used in different senses. Sometimes it stands for type or symbol (ag Heb. Ix. But it is most extensively used to denote a real or fictitious history related more or less in detail, and intended as the vehicle of some moral or religious truth. Sometimes, instead of a history, a similitude in the form of a simple natural phenomenon the budding of the fig-tree, Matt. Xxiv. Or some image from everyday life the man allotting to his servants their various duties before he sets out for another country, Mark xiii. 34) serves the same purpose and receives the name of parable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Parables of Our Lord The two fables of the Old Testament, that of the trees which would choose a king (j udg. Ix. 8 and of the thistle and the cedar (2 Kin. Xiv. May seem to impeach the universality of this rule, but do not so in fact. For in neither is it God who speaks, nor yet messengers of his, delivering his counsel; but men, and from an earthly standing-point, not a heavenly. Jotham will teach the men of Shechem their folly, not their sin, in making Abimelech king over them; the fable never lifting itself to the rebuke of sin, as it is sin - this lesson lies outside of its sphere - but only in so far as it is also folly. And Jehoash, in the same way, would make Amaziah see his presumption and pride, in challenging a mightier to the con ict; not thereby teaching him any moral lesson, but Only giving evidence in the fable which he uttered, that his own pride was ofiended by the challenge of the Jewish king.

Download or read book The Parables written by Thomas Guthrie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parables: Read in the Light of the Present Day Dr. Guthrie was born at Brechin, in Forfarshire, July 12, 1803, and was a younger son of the late Mr. David Guthrie, merchant and banker in that ancient city. The family was one of great respectability and considerable antiquity, having been connected with Brechin for more than two hundred years. With one or two short intervals the office of Provost has been held in succession by five members of the family, the present occupant being John Guthrie, M.D., Dr. Guthrie's nephew. It is probable, but not certain, that Dr. Guthrie was a lineal descendant of the well-known Rev. William Guthrie, author of the "Trial of a Saving Interest in Christ," who was cousin of James Guthrie, the martyr. At the very least he was a kinsman of both, and Dr. Guthrie used to refer with pride to his connection with the martyr, who was not only, like himself, a Forfarshire man, but connected with the town of Brechin, having been owner of a small estate in its immediate neighbourhood. Alexander, one of Dr. Guthrie's elder brothers, was a medical man, who enjoyed a large practice and no small local reputation.

Download or read book New Testament Parables for Children written by Mrs. E. C. Wilson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Testament Parables for Children: Illustrated by Pictures From the Masters and Original Stories These Lessons on the new-testament Parables are prepared in the belief that historic information about the Bible is of little value to young children, but that, at their impressible age, strong moral influ ences are of the very first importance. In the Author's experience with children, pictures and stories have been found to make far deeper impressions on the minds and hearts of little ones than any other means of teaching. This Manual is designed to aid parents and Sunday-school teachers of young children in using a series of cards, which are duplicates of its illustrated pages. Each Parable may serve for two lessons: the first will naturally centre in the picture the second, in the original story. In the first lesson, let the teacher examine the picture thoroughly with the children, even in its minutest details. The text of Scripture and the verse of poetry may be recited by the children separately or in concert. Then let the story of the Parable be told by the children the teacher may lead them on, if necessary, by questions and hints, but Should have them feel that they tell it. The Parable well in the minds of the children, let a talk follow, for which the ques tions in the Manual are intended only as suggestions and helps. These questions have not dealt with the larger, and what may be called national, interpretation of the Parables, but have taken up only a simple and practical one, the larger one not being profitable or even possible to children. At the second lesson, recall briefly the story of the Parable, especially the truth taught in it. Then, as an illustration of this truth, read or tell the story in the Manual. Encourage the children to talk freely about it, and to tell you how it teaches the same lesson that is taught in the Parable, the verse of poetry, and the text of Scripture.

Download or read book The Parables of Our Lord Explained and Applied Classic Reprint written by Francis William Bourdillon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parables of Our Lord Explained and Applied The words the kingdom of heaven is like, or similar words, are found at the beginning of a large number of the parables; and if this work were to be read through continuously, it might have been enough to explain, once for all, what those words mean. But as each chapter is meant to be read by itself, and independently of the rest, it has been thought necessary to give a short explanation of these words almost as often as they occur. Occasional repe titions will therefore be noticed, for which allowance is asked on the ground just stated. As a general rule, the parables have been arranged in the order in which they may be believed to have been spoken; not however without exception, when there seemed any good reason for departing from this plan. Indeed, strict accuracy in this respect is not attainable. Nor is it of anv great moment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parables in Our Saviour: Expounded and Illustrated The parables of our Lord have always had a special attraction for students of the Gospels, and there are probably more works devoted to their exposition than to that of any other portion of the Saviour's teach ings. In adding another to the number, I can claim only such originality as may be fairly accounted for by what astronomers have called the personal equation; and the result may be a further illustration of the many sidedness of these exquisite stories. To Arch bishop Trench, who more than any other English writer has brought Patristic lore to bear upon the illustration of the parables, every later author musc express his peculiar obligations; but the recent works of Professor Bruce and Siegfried Goebel have broken new ground in this department, and my aim has been to turn their fruitful suggestions to good homiletical account. The little volumes of Dr. Bods - only the first of which was in my hands when these discourses were prepared - are full of golden nuggets; and the Expositions Of William Arnot are characterized by the masculine.
