Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Characteristics and Achievements of the Bible It is not without considerable hesitation that I present this volume to the public. The subject, in detached parts, has been treated by far abler pens; but, so far as I am aware, the attempt has not been made, in any single volume at least, to exhibit the subject with the same comprehensiveness and system. Where I had the labours of preceding writers to direct and aid me, I felt less hesitation; where I had not these guides, the importance of the subject not unfrequently caused me to doubt my own ability to handle it, so as while gaining the ear of those who are of literary taste and culture, there should be nothing to offend the sensibilities of a pure and simple piety. I had an abiding conviction that a free exhibition of the literature of the Bible is calculated to strengthen our belief in its divine inspiration; but, on the other hand, it needed caution, while freely exhibiting its literary characteristics, not to present the Bible as merely a literary production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Study of the Bible: An Account of the Leading Forms of Literature Represented in the Sacred Writings; Intended for English Readers Now for all these types of readers the literary study of the Bible is a common meeting-ground. One who recognises that God has been pleased to put his revelation of himself in the form of literature, must surely go on to see that literary form is a thing worthy of study. The agnostic will not deny that, if every particle of authority and supernatural character be taken from the Bible.

This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures, on the Literary History of the Bible In respect to the New Testament, we have evidence that the different writings of which it is composed, at least the principal of them, were collected into a volume before the death of the Apostle John. They were translated before the middle of the second century into What is called the Old Syriac version, for the use of the eastern Christians; and about the same time into Latin for the use of the western Christians. Eusebius, who ourished at the close of the third and beginning of the fourth century, has preserved a full catalogue of the books of the New Testament, and they are the same that are found in our Bibles at the present day. I will siniply add, in passing, that the authenticity and genu ineness of the various books that compose the Bible, are proved by an amount of evidence that can be brought to bear on no other writings of antiquity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Character of the Bible: A Lecture Delivered Before the Wilmington Institute at Wilmington, Delaware, January 8th, 1857 Hence, to form even a proximate idea of the true liter ary value of the sacred writings, we are compelled to adopt some such process as that by which we determine the dis tance and magnitude of those bodies too far above us to be directly estimated, as the stars by their parallax. And in attempting, briefly, to carry out this design, let us eschew the method ordinarily adopted in critical essays on the Bible, and instead of dividing the books of which it consists into Historical, Prophetical, and Poetical, let us rather re gard it as one beautiful whole, composed of the three grand elements of all literature - History, Philosophy, and Poetry; for we find the facts of History, the truths of Philosophy, and the gems of Poesy, blended together on every page of the great volume, from the first startling announcement in Genesis, to the last words of John's sublime vision on the isle of Patmos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wit and Humor of the Bible: A Literary Study While many have taken in hand to set forth in order the pathos and sublimity of the Bible, those literary elements comprised under the title of this book have rarely been mentioned. Feeling that here was a field untraversed, the author of this little volume began an investigation whose results were originally embodied in an article published some years ago in an Eastern review. That article is given in Poole's Index as the only one extant upon the subject. Since its publication, additional study has brought to light other examples of the use of Wit and Humor by the writers of the Bible. These later results were embodied in a course of lectures delivered last winter before the students of Lombard University, Galesburg, Ill. They are now given to the public in the present volume. It would be presumptuous to claim that these few pages exhaust the subject. Such a claim the author does not wish to make. Further research would no doubt bring to light instances that have escaped him. It is hoped, however, that these studies may be sufiicientlv complete to awaken interest in a long-neglected side of our sacred literature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Style of the Prophetic Books of the English Bible Cially In the writings immediately following a suc cessful war in which a nation has demonstrated its prowess and virility. The Augustan Age in Rome, following a series Of military victories, con tains the names Of Horace, Ovid and Virgil. This marked the acme of Roman national life. The splendid nationality of England in the Age Of Elizabeth was not entirely the result Of successes in war. Discoveries, the Reformation and the Renaissance attested, however, to the fact. The names of Shakespeare, Spenser, Bacon and Sid ney are the sufficient guarantee Of a great litera ture at this time. In America the early colonies contained but few good writers. Other work seemed more important than that Of literature. There were homes and a living to make and an independence to win. After 1820, when the idea of nationality was well established, the names of Longfellow, Emerson, Lowell and Motley ap peared and with them a truly great and profound literature.

Download or read book A History of the English Bible as Literature written by David Norton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-05-29 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and condensed from David Norton's acclaimed A History of the Bible as Literature, this book, first published in 2000, tells the story of English literary attitudes to the Bible. At first jeered at and mocked as English writing, then denigrated as having 'all the disadvantages of an old prose translation', the King James Bible somehow became 'unsurpassed in the entire range of literature'. How so startling a change happened and how it affected the making of modern translations such as the Revised Version and the New English Bible is at the heart of this exploration of a vast range of religious, literary and cultural ideas. Translators, writers such as Donne, Milton, Bunyan and the Romantics, reactionary Bishops and radical students all help to show the changes in religious ideas and in standards of language and literature that created our sense of the most important book in English.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bible Truths, With Shakspearian Parallels In which it is not a notable characteristic. This unconscious coincidence between the morality of the greatest minds and that of revelation suggests a field of inquiry, tempting indeed to enter, but of too extended a character to be treated, as' the fertility of the subject would require, within the narrow limits of a preface. That such a coinci dence, however, is not altogether the mere result of educational prejudice, as some no doubt will be ready to assume, is' quite evident from the fact of its having been sometimes conspicuous in -the works of men singularly heedless of Scripture morality, and even of men the general tone of whose works has been notoriously out of keeping and opposed to it and further, by the fact that it also holds good in many cases between the morality of the New Testament and the minds of men who wrote before the Christian era. The Christianity of Platonism affords an interesting evidence of this. The coincidence, I imagine, is no mere outward accident of education, but a God-implanted prin ciple, radical and innate, the very natural homage of the greatest spirits to the Father of all spirits, the irresistible gravitation of all moral genius to its common centre.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines for the Study of Biblical History and Literature As the title of the volume indicates, it contains merely outlines which direct the student in the systematic study of the Bible itself and in the discriminating use 'oi the best reference literature. The topics are so arranged that one or more phases of the work may be omitted without breaking the continuity of the course. For example, those desiring a scientific grasp of the history will give their chief attention to the sections dealing with the sources. Others, whose main interest lies in the books of the Bible and their contents, will emphasize especially the sections which treat of the literature of each period. No pains have been spared to make the outlines definite enough to become a help ful guide to the student who does his work without further direction, and yet elastic enough to give free play to the experienced teacher. The difficulty of this combination need not be emphasized; the authors fully realize that their work will be Open to criticism because it fails to meet fully either ideal.

Download or read book The New Version Classic Reprint written by George Chainey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-18 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Version To their unsophisticated minds, this busi ness is seen in a far different light than by ambitious theologians desirous of increasing their income and glory by a place on the translators' staff. Hitherto, they have really believed the Bible from the first verse in Genesis to the last in Revelations. They supposed that God was the author. The idea that he had left the proof-reading to fallible man had never entered their heads. But now every one is familiar with the fact that there are thousands of different read ings that can only be settled by majority vote. They cannot but reflect that, if these men can change it to-day, other men may do so again to - morrow. On finding what were to them some of the sublime passages left out, they. Will naturally ask themselves, If man composed these, why may he not lie the author of it all? The Bible in many a house, regarded in the light of a fetich, will lose much of its sacred character when the revealing light of the new version falls on it. This new version will also set thousands of people to reading the Bible. The reason why many think so much of this book is because they never read it. They have imagined that all the good, true, and beautiful things the ministers find in it are really there. By reading it for themselves, they will discover the deception. I think that, if any one would read the Bible for the purpose of deciding the ques tion of its divinity, they would find a ver dict against it long before reaching the New Testament. The Catholic Church obeys the law of self-preservation by withholding the Bible from the laity. The Pope knows better than to countenance a new version. The friends of humanity can congratulate them selves that Protestantism likes the taste of the poison that will destroy it.
