Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psalms of Life: A Compilation of Psalms, Hymns, Chants, Anthems, &C, Embodying the Spiritual, Progressive and Reformatory Sentiment of the Present Age Among the many collections designated as Hymn, and Music Books, already published, this new compilation certainly possesses the characteristic of originality, inasmuch as its Editor has entered a new field, and gathered material never before used for a like purpose. Similar works are, for the most part, mere repositories of the thoughts and feel ings of the Past, while the mind continually yearns for the Inspirations Of the Present. The Psalms and Hymns they bring to us were written for a previous generation, - for a people subject in their daily life to other surroundings, and actuated by motives differing in many essential particulars from those that govern us. Hence, they were adopted by them as the representatives of their spiritual faith and aspirations; but to suppose them to be adapted to every people and every occasion, is neither wise nor just.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psalms of the Social Life But there is not much of imprecation in the psalms. For the most part they express the moods of men who live a daily life of need and who mean to help where they can to get God's will done, who feel themselves bound up with other lives and look forward to the correction of all kinds of social evils and the triumph of all right social purposes. It is the study of some of these moods and of these social factors as they appear in these songs of a thousand years that concerns us now.

Download or read book Ten Studies in the Psalms Classic Reprint written by John Edgar McFadyen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Studies in the Psalms There is, perhaps, no part of the Old Testament which speaks so simply and directly to the universal heart as the Psalter. Yet even the most familiar psalms come home to us with increased freshness and power when, by sympathetic study, we have traveled back to the world in which their writers stood, and learned to look out upon it with their eyes. The short studies in this volume are an attempt to interpret, in this way, a few of the psalms that deal with important aspects of the religious life, and to show their vital bearing upon the life of to - day. In their doubts, struggles, and aspirations, those ancient men are very near us, and they speak to us with an accent that is strangely modern. I have tried to make this plain in the course of the exposition, and to illustrate their kinship with us by quotation from modern writers. The treatment of the psalms here selected is expository. But, without. Being didactic or homiletic, I have at the same time sought to make it practically helpful, by gathering up the study of each psalm in a series of personal questions, which are intended both to carry the reader into the heart of the psalm, and also to enable him to search his own inner life. I desire here to express my obligation to Messrs. Charles Serib ner's Sons for their generous courtesy in allowing me to reprint, from my volume on The Messages of the Psalmists in The Mes sages of the Bible Series the paraphrase of the psalms here selected for study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of Psalms: An Introduction What a sensation would be produced in the literary world by such a collection of poetry as is presented in the Book of Psalms, could it come recommended by the attraction of novelty. But the truth is, that, in general, the ear is accustomed to these ad mirable productions, before the mind can comprehend their meaning, or feel their beauty so that, in maturer life, it requires no inconsiderable effort to give them that attention, which is necessary for the reception of the impressions they are adapted to impart. Another obstacle to a proper estimate of the sacred poetry is the very imperfect translation, and wretched arrangement, in which it has been presented to English readers. Let the lover of poetry imagine what impressions he should receive from the odes of Collins or Gray, cut up into fragments like the verses in the common version of the Bible, and he may comprehend What injustice has been done to the Hebrew poets.

Download or read book The Psalms in History and Biography Classic Reprint written by John Ker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psalms in History and Biography is a title authored by Reverend John Ker, the work is an in-depth and interesting examination of the Psalms and their place in history. The Psalms have been a foundational text of several religions for thousands of years. In this book, Ker presents the Psalms alongside a discussion of their relevance and stories from modern history that serve to contextualize the teachings. The book does not include a discussion of every Psalm, it does however contain sections on more than 150 of the poems. The stories presented alongside the Psalms range greatly in origin, from tales of sinking ships in the 1800's to an account of a third century king reading the works while on his deathbed. The volume concludes with a detailed index listing all of the subjects discussed throughout the book. The Psalms in History and Biography is a novel way of presenting the Psalms. By using stories from different periods in history to demonstrate the power of the works, Ker has attempted to take these religious writings from the page into real life. Readers interested in the subject matter will surely find The Psalms in History and Biography to be an interesting insight and history of some of the foundational texts of modern religion.

Download or read book Heart Messages from the Psalms Classic Reprint written by Ralph Welles Keeler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heart Messages From the Psalms The Psalms have not been at fault. Folks have not communed with them as they are wont to do with later poets. Accustomed to the poetical forms of the last three hundred years, men have often failed to catch the appeal of these lays of antiquity, sung by Hebrews long since dead. Yet in the upheaval of thought and social structure now going on men are turning in every direction for some mes sage for life. Where better seek it than in the great songs of Israel? In an hour like ours it may be that fellowship can be established between those who have lived and have sung of God, and ourselves who need him so sorely. The message of the poet knows neither time, place, nor age. It is marked by a universal characteristic which sets vibrating heart-chords the world over. Translate it from language to language, and it finds a response, if it really is poetry and not merely verse. For poetry sings of the universal experiences of the race, its griefs and joys, its disappointments and aspirations, its loves, its hates, its hopes. It is a soul singing itself out into other souls. The psalmists were poets. So well did they sing that we listen back through the ages, that we may not lose a note. They did not write in rime, but with vigorous terseness and a remarkable power of condensation they put their poetry into rhythm with a balanced symmetry of form and sense. Poetasters and the erudite rejoice in the details of form and structure of these songs of Israel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poems Other Writings LOA 118 written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and published by Library of America. This book was released on 2000-08-28 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No American writer of the nineteenth century was more universally enjoyed and admired than Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. His works were extraordinary bestsellers for their era, achieving fame both here and abroad. Now, for the first time in over twenty-five years, The Library of America offers a full-scale literary portrait of America’s greatest popular poet. Here are the poems that created an American mythology: Evangeline in the forest primeval, Hiawatha by the shores of Gitche Gumee, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the wreck of the Hesperus, the village blacksmith under the spreading chestnut tree, the strange courtship of Miles Standish, the maiden Priscilla and the hesitant John Alden; verses like “A Psalm of Life” and “The Children’s Hour,” whose phrases and characters have become part of the culture. Here as well, along with the public antislavery poems, are the sparer, darker lyrics—"The Fire of Drift-Wood," “Mezzo Cammin,” “Snow-Flakes,” and many others—that show a more austere aspect of Longfellow’s poetic gift. Erudite and fluent in many languages, Longfellow was endlessly fascinated with the byways of history and the curiosities of legend. As a verse storyteller he had no peer, whether in the great book-length narratives such as Evangeline and The Song of Hiawatha (both included in full) or the stories collected in Tales of a Wayside Inn (reprinted here in a generous selection). His many poems on literary themes, such as his moving homages to Dante and Chaucer, his verse translations from Lope de Vega, Heinrich Heine, and Michelangelo, and his ambitious verse dramas, notably The New England Tragedies (also complete), are remarkable in their range and ambition. As a special feature, this volume restores to print Longfellow’s novel Kavanagh, a study of small-town life and literary ambition that was praised by Emerson as an important contribution to the development of American fiction. A selection of essays rounds out of the volume and provides testimony of Longfellow’s concern with creating an American national literature. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.
