Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophets of the Nineteenth Century: Carlyle, Ruskin, Tolstoi Before Carlyle died he said that John Ruskin was the only man in England who was carrying out his ideas; and Ruskin said recently that Tolstoi is the one man in the world who stands far the movement which he had tried to further. Was there this relation between these three men, so different in all their personal attributes? So far as the two former are concerned there can be no doubt of it, for the relation was direct and organic.

Excerpt: ... thomas carlyle and his gospel of work we are somewhat startled when we remember that England has already celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Carlyle. It is hard to realize that his date is more than a century old, for he seems to belong particularly to our own day. Nevertheless, he was born while that other great Scotchman, Robert Burns, was still in the world, whose life he has painted as none other could; born before the Reign of Terror had died away, which he was yet to make so terribly real to us; born before " that portentous mixture of quackery and hero," Napoleon, had commenced to show his hand. The men who came into the world at the same time with Carlyle belong without question to a past age. Keats was born a year later, Shelley three years earlier, Byron six years earlier. All three, Byron, Shelley, and Keats, had done what they were to do in the world, and had passed out of it, before Carlyle had found out what his work was to be. Had his life been no longer than that of these three contemporaries, his name would never have been known. At the age when their genius was fully flowered, he was simply a country schoolmaster in an unknown Scotch village; for Carlyle matured late, and it was characteristic of him that he should keep silence until he had something to say. He did not begin by feeling his way as other writers do, but when his message was ready he uttered it. What, then, was his message? It may well be called " the gospel of work " "If you have anything to do in the world, do it." This was the text upon which he continued to ring the changes for more than half a century. He insisted that we are placed here for a purpose, --to be of use in the world; and if we fail to acco

Download or read book The Prophets of Israel and Their Place in History written by William Robertson Smith and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 1982 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the history of nineteenth-century religious thought, William Robertson Smith occupies an ambiguous position. More than any other writer, he stimulated the theories of religion later advanced by Frazer, Durkheim, and Freud. Smith himself was not an original scholar, but was rather "clever at presenting other men's theories" within new and sometimes hostile contexts. Smith was an important contributor to two of the most serious challenges to Christian orthodoxy of the last century, the "Higher Criticism" of the Bible and the comparative study of religion, and was also the victim of the last successful heresy trial in Great Britain. Yet he was an utterly devout Protestant, whose views on Biblical criticism (for which he was damned) are now considered as true as his views on totemism and sacrifice (for which he was praised) are now considered false. Despite Smith's enormous significance for the history of religious ideas, he has been written about relatively little, and most of what we know about his life and work comes from a source almost a century old. Originally published in 1882, The Prophets of Israel is a collection of eight lectures, including "Israel and Jehovah;" "Jehovah and the Gods of the Nations," "Amos and the House of Jehu," "Hosea and the Fall of Ephraim," "The Kingdom of Judah and the Beginnings of Isaiah's Work," "The Earlier Prophesies of Isaiah," "Isaiah and Micah in the Reign of Hezekiah," and "The Deliverance from Assyria." A new introduction by Robert Alun Jones discusses Smith's early life, the heresy trial, Smith's early view of prophecy, and the classic text itself. The book will be of interest to students and teachers of religious studies, and general readers interested in Robertson Smith.

Download or read book Prophets of the Past written by Michael Brenner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prophets of the Past is the first book to examine in depth how modern Jewish historians have interpreted Jewish history. Michael Brenner reveals that perhaps no other national or religious group has used their shared history for so many different ideological and political purposes as the Jews. He deftly traces the master narratives of Jewish history from the beginnings of the scholarly study of Jews and Judaism in nineteenth-century Germany; to eastern European approaches by Simon Dubnow, the interwar school of Polish-Jewish historians, and the short-lived efforts of Soviet-Jewish historians; to the work of British and American scholars such as Cecil Roth and Salo Baron; and to Zionist and post-Zionist interpretations of Jewish history. He also unravels the distortions of Jewish history writing, including antisemitic Nazi research into the "Jewish question," the Soviet portrayal of Jewish history as class struggle, and Orthodox Jewish interpretations of history as divinely inspired. History proved to be a uniquely powerful weapon for modern Jewish scholars during a period when they had no nation or army to fight for their ideological and political objectives, whether the goal was Jewish emancipation, diasporic autonomy, or the creation of a Jewish state. As Brenner demonstrates in this illuminating and incisive book, these historians often found legitimacy for these struggles in the Jewish past.
Download or read book Nuer Prophets written by Douglas Hamilton Johnson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1994 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prophets first emerged as significant figures among the Nuer in the nineteenth century. They fashioned the religious idiom of prophecy from a range of spiritual ideas, and enunciated the social principles which broadened and sustained a moral community across political and ethnic boundaries. Douglas Johnson argues that, contrary to the standard anthropological interpretation, the major prophets' lasting contribution was their vision of peace, not their role in war.
