Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heroes of Early Israel The "Great Leaders Series" aims to meet the needs of moral and religious secondary education. Adolescence is pre-eminently the period of Idealism. The naive obedience to authority characteristic of childhood is to a large extent supplanted at this time by self-initiative; - by self-determination in accordance with ideals adopted or framed by the individual himself. Furthermore, the ideals of this period arc concete rather than abstract. They are embodied in individual lives, and, generally, in lives of action. Hence biographies of great leaders appeal strongly to the adolescent. They furnish examples and stimulus for conduct along the higher lines. The "Great Leaders Series" will include a large number of volumes devoted to the study of some of the greatest moral and spiritual leaders of the race. Although designed primarily for use in the class-room, they will serve admirably the purposes of a general course of reading in biography for youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Hebrew History Here is the fountain-head of Hebrew hero-life - the time when Abram was born in the house of his father Terah. Here we stand amongst the great progenitors of our race. Abram's birth was but two hundred and eighty years after the flood: a shorter period than has passed since Queen Elizabeth sat under a tree which is still alive in Hatfield Park, and saw the approach of the royal messenger who brought her, instead of the expected warrant to a dungeon and a scaffold, the tidings of her succession to the throne of England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Israel: A Teacher's Manual to Be Used in Connection With the Student's d104book This manual for teachers is designed to be used in connection with the students textbook. The latter contains the stories of the heroes arranged from the British revision, with explanatory notes and questions, and with an opportunity for expressive work in a written review. It is the purpose of the manual to indicate to the teacher how the students may be guided in their work, and how the class hour may be made interesting and profitable. The manual has designedly been prepared for teachers of very slight experience. The attempt has been made to suggest step by step the movement to be followed in the preparation and teaching of each lesson. The object that has been kept in view has been to make it possible for a person with no pedagogic training to teach the stories of the heroes effectively. At the same time the needs of the more experienced teachers have not been overlooked, and it is hoped that such, while using the book with freedom, may yet find suggestions and illuminative material that will be helpful in their own preparation and conduct of the lesson. Indeed, it is desirable even for the less mature teachers that suggestions of method may not always be slavishly adopted, but may often stimulate invention and initiative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heroes and Crises of Early Hebrew History: From the Creation to the Death of Moses Every man consciously or unconsciously makes his own working canon of the Bible. Sometimes this working canon includes every thing that is found in the Scriptures, irrespective of relative values; sometimes it is pitiably limited, and fails to include many exceedingly important passages. To use the Bible intelligently and profitably it is important to realize that it is a great library, containing many different books, written by a great variety of authors, who lived in periods widely remote, and who wrote with diverse aims and points of View. Over twelve centuries lie between Moses and Paul, and each century contrib uted its part to the gradually growing records of God's revelation of his character and will in the experiences, the hearts and the minds of men. The men of later ages, who have given us our present canons of the Old and the New Testaments, in their zeal to preserve all the existing records, included certain writings, which possess only a secondary historical and religious value. Sometimes, as in the case of the Gos pels, they have also preserved three or four distinct yet parallel records of the same events; and sometimes, as in the case of the opening books of the Old Testament, they have closely blended together the Older and later records into one continuous narrative.

Download or read book The Kings of Israel and Judah Classic Reprint written by George Rawlinson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kings of Israel and Judah The Books of Kings and Chronicles form the main stjurce for the History of the Kings of Israel and Judah. They require, however, to be supplemented, especially for the later kings, by a careful study of the Prophetical Scriptures, particularly of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Amos, Micah, Habakkuk and Zephaniah. Local colouring, the life and manners of the time, and the feelings of those contemporary with the events described, are derivable almost wholly from this latter source, which furnishes them often in tolerable abundance. The "Antiquities" of Josephus supply less material than might have been expected, and the character of all additional material derived from this quarter requires to be weighed in the scales of a careful and sober criticism. Considerable light is thrown on the history of some of the kings by contemporary notices contained in the monuments of Egypt and Assyria. It has been the endeavour of the writer, so far as the limits of space allowed, to make full use of all these various sources of information. His labours have been much lightened by the excellent work done by many of his predecessors in the field of Sacred History, as especially by the writers of the articles on the several kings in Dr. Smith's "Dictionary of the Bible," Kitto's "Biblical Cyclopaedia," Winer's "Realworterbuch," and Ersch and Gruber's "Cyclopadie."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaders of Israel: A Brief History of the Hebrews; From the Earliest Times to the Downfall of Jerusalem, A. D. 70 Thomas Carlyle's remark that "the history of the world is composed of the biographies of its great men" is particularly true of Israel. Accordingly, we have endeavored to correlate about some twenty-four outstanding "Leaders" the principal events of Old Testament history from the earliest times to the overthrow of Jerusalem by Titus in the year 70 A. D. The constant aim has been to assist the student who wishes to blaze his way, so to speak, through the Old Testament and trace the events chronologically. This brief epitome, therefore, having been written with a definite purpose, and according to a prescribed plan, is not intended to be exhaustive, but suggestive. The Bible account should, section by section, be read first; for, while the story is so written as to be read continuously it is directly contrary to our intention to take the Bible out of the reader's hand. In our attitude, we have endeavored to be constructive. Mere theories have found no place, but facts have been welcomed from every source, critical and archaeological. The scriptural quotations are taken from the American Revised Version, Standard Edition, which we commend most cordially to the student as the very best English version of the Bible yet made. Numerous maps and charts have been inserted as a possible help to the reader. A simple, one-page diagram sometimes conveys more information than could be expressed by words in an entire chapter.

Download or read book The Founders and Rulers of United Israel from the Death of Moses to the Division of the Hebrew Kingdom Classic Reprint written by Charles Foster Kent and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founders and Rulers of United Israel From the Death of Moses to the Division of the Hebrew Kingdom Israel's history is divided into four distinct periods. The first, which ends with the crossing of the Jordan, represents the childhood of the race. It was then that the memory of the nation was weak; but its imagination was strong, as the character of the earliest traditions testifies. The second, which extended to the division of the kingdom at the death of Solomon, was Israel's adolescent period. The third, to the fall of Jerusalem in 586 b.c., brought to the nation grave social, political and religious problems, which rapidly developed the ethical and spiritual consciousness of the race. During the fourth period, from the beginning of the exile to the first Christian century, Judaism, in the trying school of affliction, attained its full maturity and crystallized into a closely knit racial and religious unit. The second period of Hebrew history, with which this volume deals, was Israel's heroic age, when physical strength, courage and patriotism were the prominent virtues, and the deeper spiritual and ethical qualities were only partially developed. It was during this period that the Hebrews most resembled their neighbors in character and faith. Their dominant ambitions were to acquire territory and to extend their authority; and these ambitions were fully realized. Within two short centuries, the tribes from the wilderness became a strong nation, and then grew into a powerful empire. Written records now for the first time began to take the place of popular tradition. As a result, the miraculous element, so prominent in the early tradition, almost completely disappears. The greater part of the material in Samuel and Kings is evidently taken from two early, independent histories. The one told of the call of Saul by Samuel, and of the reign of Israel's first king; the other, which begins with the latter part of the sixteenth chapter of I Samuel, tells of the rise of David and of the glories and sins of the Judean shepherd who made Israel one of the powerful nations of southwestern Asia. These quotations from the Saul and David histories are remarkably picturesque and full of detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Superheroes and Their Ancient Jewish Parallels written by Johnny E. Miles and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persia had Rostam. Babylonia had Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Egypt had Horus and Isis. Greece had Odysseus and Achilles. Israel had its heroes, too--Moses, David, Esther and Samson. While Israel's heroes did not wear capes or spandex, they did meet cultural needs. In times of crisis, heroes emerge to model virtues that inspire a sense of commitment and worth. Identity concerns were especially acute for a post-exilic Jewish culture. Using modern American superheroes and their stories in a cross-cultural discussion, this book presents the stories of Israelite characters as heroes filling a cultural need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Israel and Judah: From the Call of Abraham to the Death of Nehemiah It ought assuredly to be possible so to teach the historical parts of the Old Testament to those who have reached the age of fifteen or sixteen that, when they enter into manhood, they may have nothing to unlearn on the ground of either science or history. Such are the words of Professor Driver in his introduction to the Book of Genesis (westminster Commentaries, p. Lxvi; note: the italics are his). This is the ideal, admittedly difficult of attainment, which I have set before myself in writing this book. It is a book intended for use with upper forms only and in conjunction with the Bible. In my opinion, no amount of commentary or explanation can take the place of a sound knowledge of the Biblical text, so far as scripture lessons in school are concerned. Upon this text the scripture teaching in lower forms is usually and rightly based. There are now excellent series of extracts from the Old Testament published, which give the nar rative in continuous form, while omitting matter with which junior students are not concerned. In teaching upper forms, the main principles to be kept in view should be, that there is no hard and fast line dividing sacred from profane history, and that the original records both of Biblical and secular history can be subjected to similar methods of criticism.
