Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Traditions of Genesis The march of history has seen remarkable changes in men's attitude to the early narratives of Genesis. For centuries these were regarded by the whole Christian world as the authentic record of the origin of the world and man, and the beginnings of human history. In the present age, the tendency is to the opposite extreme. The supposed scientific shortcomings of the book which was once placed on so high a pinnacle of authority, have led many seekers after truth to cast it contemptuously aside, as absolutely valueless for both science and religion. The discovery in these chapters of elements common to Israel with other nations has even made them, in certain recent controversies, the principal battery-ground for an assault on the whole idea of Revelation. The present thesis is an attempt to estimate the value of the narratives afresh in the light of modern research. It aims, in the first instance, at ascertaining, in objective, scientific fashion, their real character and significance. The author will here be found to move in harmony with the main trend of recent scholarship. But even while following the beaten track, he has worked out his results by independent study of the original documents, and in various directions has endeavoured to define the issues more precisely, hoping thus to shed light on problems that still await solution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genesis and Semitic Tradition These native records have illuminated and elucidated the early chapters of Genesis. They have established the antiquity of the Hebrew narratives as traditions, with all that this fact involves for interpretation, and they have contributed particulars of greater or less value, which were wanting in the Hebrew record, but which serve to at least cast a side light and sometimes to make methods and conceptions plain which before were ob scure or ambiguous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Narratives of Genesis The subject A nave Men asked to speak on is a large one, and is complicated with many questions - critical, archaeological, scientific, exegetical. You will therefore bear with me if many points have to be touched upon in a cursory manner, and if some things have to be omitted altogether on which you would probably wish to hear me Speak. The subject is the Early Narratives in the Book of Genesis. By the Early Narratives are to be understood the first eleven chapters of the Book - those which pre cede the times of Abraham. These chapters present peculiarities of their own, and I confine attention to them, although the critical treatment applied to them is not confined to these chapters, but extends through out the whole Book of Genesis, the Book of Exodus, and the later history with much the same result in reducing them to legend.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genesis and Science, or the First Leaves of the Bible Where I could not adopt their arguments or make their conclusions my own, I endeavoured to show, from what are deemed authoritative statements, how great is the confusion among themselves, and how utterly without weight and value, in consequence, must be the assertions hazarded by scientists against the Book of Genesis. If censured, as I shall be, for not recklessly deciding some of the burning questions of the day, I shall quietly submit and take it very patiently. Is there not a time for everything '3 If revelation has long since closed its canon, certainly science has not, and before this is done, it is vain to apprehend danger for the cause of truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Creation and the Patriarchs, or Pentateuchism, Analytically Treated, Vol. 1: The Book of Genesis Pure religion is not the antagonist of science. On the contrary, they are twin sisters; for science is the expounder of God's handy-work written in the vast volume of creation, and free enquiry is the medium for its record. Science and religion unite in demonstrating the wisdom of God, and in inculcating on his reasoning creatures the mode by which they can best acquit themselves of their duty towards him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Narratives of Genesis: A Brief Introduction to the Study of Genesis I-XI The doubts and questionings to which the Early Narratives of Genesis have frequently given rise are well known to those who have any acquaintance with the religious difficulties of our own time. They, indeed, have been fortunate in their experience who have not known an instance in which antagonism or indifference to religion has been fostered by the rigid refusal, on the part of well-meaning Christian parents and teachers, to admit the possibility of an alternative to the traditional interpretation of this portion of Scripture. Groundless as the supposition was, that a Christian when he reads the Book of Genesis must either renounce his confidence in the achievements of scientific research or abandon his faith in Scripture, it was, at one time, as widely prevalent as it was mischievous and false.

Download or read book Popular Misconceptions About the First Eleven Chapters of Genesis Classic Reprint written by Edward Huntingford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Misconceptions About the First Eleven Chapters of Genesis Some of them are due to the teachings of the nursery, and others can be traced to the imagination of poets, the conceptions of painters, the unbridled fancy of theologians, or the glosses of those Jews whom our Saviour accused of making void the Word of God by their traditions. To these we naturally cling with marvellous and often commendable tenacity. The very style, also, of the Bible, especially of the Old Testament, addressed, as it was, to highly imaginative Orientals, who, even now, usually clothe what they have to say in the language of symbol and metaphor, has suggested difficulties to the colder reason of Western believers. Theology, therefore, during the present' century, and especially during the last thirty or forty years, has had to go through the same process as that to which many other branches of human knowledge have been subjected, and with a similar result - the removal of many popular errors and the establishment of the truth upon more solid and enduring foundations.

Download or read book The Book of Genesis Classic Reprint written by Bureau of Jewish Education and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Genesis It is a common and lamented fact that most Jewish children in America are not taught to read the Bible with appreciation and pleasure. Conditions in this country are such that very few children ever become proficient enough in Hebrew for an understanding of the Bible in the original, and thus far, very little has been done to teach the Bible text in English. The Bible stories taught in Jewish Sun day Schools and homes cannot take the place of the Bible text. As stories, the Bible narratives have to compete with fairy tales, with Wild West thrillers, with tales of general history and adventure, and with the whole host of attractive stories ofiered to the modern Jewish child; and frequently the Bible narratives lose_in the competition. Only through the text itself can children'get a glimpse into the over powering genuineness, the enduring beauty of style, the primal simplicity of emphasis, the terse vigor, which make the Bible 3 supremely great literature. The American Jew who has not been taught the Bible text in childhood can rarely train himself to read the Bible in later life, because, even in its English translation, he finds the text strange, the diction quaint and unfamiliar, the phrase ology monotonous and the contents confusing. Clearly, if the Bible is to have real meaning to American Jews, it must be taught in childhood as text, if not in the original Hebrew, at least in the American Jewish translation.

Download or read book The Origin of Biblical Traditions written by Albert T. Clay and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries argued that ancient Israel simply borrowed most of its culture and religion from Babylonia. In this volume Clay counters that West Semitic cultures (the Amorites) were already a developed civilization before Israel came under Babylonian influence. Writing a decade before the discoveries of Ugarit and Mari, Clay noted that there were numerous clues to West Semitic cultures. While some of his arguments and conclusion are no longer tenable, this work retains its interest for its place in the discussion. Without directly referring to Clay, George Mendenhall affirms Clays fundamental point in this volume: from the MB Age on there was no region of the Levant that had not been influenced by the Amorite language and culture in various ways and various degrees. Their cultural and linguistic influence was a lasting one that is gradually coming to light, especially in the areas of religion and law (The Amorites, in 'Anchor Bible Dictionary').
