Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament in Life and Literature The very kind reception given by reviewers and by the public to "The Old Testament in Life and Literature" has been my chief encouragement in completing the present volume for the press. I am especially grateful for the interesting letters I have received from ministerial and other readers in every part of the country, and for the many assurances conveyed to me that the work has proved helpful to preachers well as to private students of the Holy Scriptures. The plan of the earlier book having been generally approved, I have adopted it in illustrating the New Testament. The material has been gathered in my private reading, spread over a number of years, and nothing whatever has been borrowed from anthologies or homiletic sources. Foreign literature has again been largely used, and with a few exceptions mentioned in the footnotes, all translations have been made at first hand. I have once more enjoyed the great advantage of counsel and guidance from Sir W.Robertson Nicoll, and my heartiest thanks are due to him for sympathetic aid during the entire progress of the work. I thank my publishers, and especially Mr. J. E. Hodder Williams, for the very kind personal interest they have shown in both volumes, and Mr. G.L. Thomson of the Aberdeen University Press for the care and accuracy of the setting. On the last point let me add that in a work of this kind it is almost impossible wholly to avoid verbal errors, and I shall gratefully receive and acknowledge any corrections.

Download or read book The New Testament as Literature A Very Short Introduction written by Kyle Keefer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-24 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The words, phrases, and stories of the New Testament permeate the English language. Indeed, this relatively small group of twenty-seven works, written during the height of the Roman Empire, not only helped create and sustain a vast world religion, but also have been integral to the larger cultural dynamics of the West, above and beyond particular religious expressions. Looking at the New Testament through the lens of literary study, Kyle Keefer offers an engrossing exploration of this revered religious text as a work of literature, but also keeps in focus its theological ramifications. Unique among books that examine the Bible as literature, this brilliantly compact introduction offers an intriguing double-edged look at this universal text--a religiously informed literary analysis. The book first explores the major sections of the New Testament--the gospels, Paul's letters, and Revelation--as individual literary documents. Keefer shows how, in such familiar stories as the parable of the Good Samaritan, a literary analysis can uncover an unexpected complexity to what seems a simple, straightforward tale. At the conclusion of the book, Keefer steps back and asks questions about the New Testament as a whole. He reveals that whether read as a single document or as a collection of works, the New Testament presents readers with a wide variety of forms and viewpoints, and a literary exploration helps bring this richness to light. A fascinating investigation of the New Testament as a classic literary work, this Very Short Introduction uses a literary framework--plot, character, narrative arc, genre--to illuminate the language, structure, and the crafting of this venerable text. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Literature of the New Testament A book that is really old and really valuable has nothing to fear from the critic, whose labours can only put its worth in a clearer light, and establish its authority on a surer basis. In a word, it is the business of the critic to trace back the steps by which any ancient hoolt has been transmitted to us, to find where it came from and who wrote it, to examine the occasion of its composition, and search out every link that connects it with the history of the ancient world and with the personal life of its author.

This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Interpretations of the Gospel Life The New Testament is essentially a modern book. En grafted into the life and permeating the thought of the centuries as is the power of its Central Figure, the one thing that impresses the student more than all else, as he endeavors to catch the spirit of New Testament teaching, is its thor oughly modern tone. The setting is local and Oriental, but the principles and their application are universal and human. The discourses here gathered together are an attempt to select from a ministry extending over a period of ten years, most of it in a single pulpit, the ruling ideas and efforts of that ministry to present a spherical view of the application of the Christian gospel to the whole of modern life, as we live it in America. Carrying out this purpose, I have made several excursions into the region of apostolic psychology; then again, I have tried to apply the teachings of Christ to the social and political life of our time, an experiment always fruitful of danger and misunderstanding, but none the less necessary for that. I have further outlined the relations of Christianity to our educational ideas and method, especially the place of the Bible in university instruction, following this with a literary criticism or two, in which I have made some observations on the literary and dramatic portraiture of gospel ideas. Then, too, I have added a number of dis courses on the spiritual life itself, as distinguished from the various modes of it which I have been describing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel in the New Testament The world, indeed, into which Christianity came was painfully aware of the need for salvation. Before the first Christian missionaries started out, zealous preachers of other faiths were abroad in the Roman Empire, offering their various remedies to the sick soul. Some of these remedies bore a curious family likeness to some of the most modern ways of salvation, and a brief survey of them will not lead us too far afield. The thoughts of men, in spite of all changes, tend to run in a comparatively small variety of channels; and after all, we are, in a broad View of the limitless sweep of history, not so very far removed even in time from these first-century seekers of truth.

Download or read book The Bible and Poetry written by Michael Edwards and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh, provocative look at the link between poetry and Christianity, both as it relates to the Bible itself as well as to Christian and religious life, by an accomplished scholar. The Bible is full of poems. In the Old Testament, there are the Psalms and the Song of Songs, the great exhortations and lamentations of the Prophets, and passages of poetry woven in throughout. In the New Testament, Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven with poetic epithets such as “a treasure hid in a field,” calling the Son of God “the true vine,” “the light of the world,” “the good shepherd,” and “the way, the truth, and the life.” The Gospels reverberate with allusions to the poetry of the Old Testament; the last book of all is Revelation, a visionary poem. The Bible, in other words, asks to be read poetically from start to end, and yet readers have rarely considered what that might mean, much less heeded that call. In The Bible and Poetry, the poet and scholar Michael Edwards reshapes our understanding of the Bible and religious belief, arguing that poetry is not an ornamental or accidental feature but is central to both. He speaks personally of his early, unanticipated, transformative encounters with scripture. He offers close, insightful, and resonant readings of biblical passages. Poetry, as he sees it, is the vital and necessary medium of the Creator’s word, and the truth of the Bible is not a question of precepts and propositions but of a direct experience of its poetry, its power.
Download or read book New Testament Studies written by RIGHT REV THOMAS J. CONATY and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Testament Studies: The Principal Events in the Life of Our Lord In presenting to the public a manual of New Testament Studies, the author offers to Catholic teachers and parents the results of special work, in a city parish, among the older children who met with him regularly to study the life of our divine Saviour, as told in the Holy Gospels. It was a labor of love, and the results more than repaid the efforts. It was prompted by the encyclical on the study of the Holy Scriptures, in which our Holy Father Leo XIII. encourages clergy and people to a greater love for the word of God, wherein they are to find tho image of Christ, which, as he says, "stands out living and breathing, diffusing everywhere around, consolation in trouble, encouragement to virtue, and attraction to tho love of God." Responding to such an appeal, and ambitious that our Catholic children should be taught how to study the Gospels, and thus see in the written word of God the beauty of the life of Him who came as a Child to Bethlehem that He might become a Saviour at Calvary, the author was led to establish some method by which, in simple ways, the child might be familiarized with the New Testament, and thus acquire a love for it and make it a food for daily spiritual life. The higher study of the New Testament has abundant methods at hand in admirable text-books; but the simpler work for young minds has as yet little means for advancement. The system of instruction followed in this manual is catechetical, consisting of memory texts, moral thoughts, questions and answers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith of the New Testament A few weeks ago I listened in a College Chapel to this modern hope, this call to hope to-day though many an earlier hope had been disappointed. To - day, the preacher said, we are learning new reverence, reverence towards God and towards men: And rever ence for creeds we do not share. We shall slight no man for his nonconformity. We are passing beyond form and dogma. We look back - back beyond reformation, beyond councils of the church, beyond the doctors, beyond the great figure of Paul himself, and in the simple Gospel that was preached and under stood in Galilee we shall find a peace where all our warring sects may rest. And surely that might very rightly be. To believe what Jesus Christ taught and to be like him, that is the narrow and blessed way of the Gospel. Who dare add lesser tests to that supreme one?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ In the notation ofvarious Reading from the versions here embraced, isfi'a Enema, regard has in the main been had only to essential differences, i. E. To difl'erences in sense: to have extended it to particles and phrases, except when these had a bearing on the whole texture of the verse, would have been tedious to the collator, unasked for by readers, and encumber ing to the work. The above rule was not indeed rigorously observed. Even verbal changes deserve a place, when curi osity might be amused by the recovery of some fast-fading word, or the ceaseless current of the language illustrated by another in a novel sense. Especially was it the wish, that the relative sources of the Version in common use might be obvious to all; and words and clauses, not of much moment perhaps but as found in this, have been pointed out, when they might be traced to either of the earlier works, in particular. Of the class of variou readings, there is a considerable number, which recur so otten, that, to avoid their needless repetition, it was thought best, to give them once for all in a Tabular List with the answering expressions of Tyndale. This list will be found among the last of the preliminary pages, and the examples in question will not, except in a few instances of ac cidental insertion, be met with in the margin.
