Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Permanent Value of the Old Testament During the past generation the Old Testament has commanded equally with the New the enthusiastic and devoted study of the great body of biblical scholars throughout the world. Two out of every three graduate students in our universities who specialize in the general field of biblical literature choose the Old as the special centre of their work. At the same time the tendency of the rank and file of the Christian church within the past decade has undoubtedly been to neglect the older Testament. Preachers as a rule select less than a fourth of their texts from it; the prevailing courses of Bible study devote proportionately less time to it; and teachers and scholars in the great majority of cases turn to the Old Testament with much less enthusiasm than they do to the New. Why are these two great currents setting in opposite directions, and what are the causes of the present popular neglect of the Old Testament?

Book excerpt: Charles Foster Kent was born at Palmyra, New York, and educated at Yale (A.B., 1889; Ph.D., 1891). He studied at the University of Berlin (1891-92). He was an instructor at the University of Chicago 1893-95 and then professor of Biblical literature at Brown. After 1901, he was Woolsey Professor of Biblical Literature at Yale. In 1922, he helped found the National Council of Schools of Religion, an organization that would two years later become the National Council on Religion in Higher Education, which through conference sponsorship and its Kent Fellows scholarship program played a significant role in church-university activities. In the early 1960's it merged with the Danforth fellows program and became the Society for Religion in Higher Education. In 1975 it was renamed the Society for Values in Higher Education. The Origin and Permanent Value of the Old Testament is one of Kent's most poignant works and a great addition to any Christian Library. Cover photography by Paul Spremulli.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Library of the Old Testament: Its Origin, Preservation, Inspiration, and Permanent Value; Five Lectures Of the Lectures contained in this volume four were delivered in the Cathedral of St. Asaph, at the invitation of the Dean and Chapter, to a gathering of clergy and laity from different parts of the Diocese, in Whitsun week of 1891. The third Lecture is one of a course given at Ely in 1885, with reference to the appearance of the Revised Version of the Old Testament. I have added it here, as I had originally intended to include the subject of the Preservation of the Old Testament in the course of Lectures at St. Asaph, and it forms a natural sequel to the two Lectures on the Origin of the Old Testament. The Lectures are now published in accordance with a wish expressed by some of those who heard them at St. Asaph, and in the hope that they may be a contribution, however humble, towards the propagation, I will not say of right opinion, but of a right temper and attitude, with reference to the questions which are exercising the mind of the Church at the present time with regard to the Old Testament.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Abiding Value of the Old Testament Between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New, extreme Views have prevailed among men as to whether the Old Testament is really an essential part of Christianity. Some are disposed to cut the New Tes tament aloof from the Hebrew Scrip tures altogether, because, as they claim, Christianity can live on quite as well without them. Others regard the Old Testament as the millstone about the neck of Christianity, a stumbling-block to Christians as much as the Cross is to the Jews. While others, who are not so explicitly antagonistic in their atti. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Two out of every three graduate students in our universities who specialize in the general field of biblical literature choose the Old as the special centre of their work.

Why are these two great currents setting in opposite directions, and what are the causes of the present popular neglect of the Old Testament? If the Old Testament should be relegated to a second place in our working canon of the Bible, let us frankly and carefully define our reasons. If, on the other hand, the prevailing apathy and neglect are due to ignorance of the real character and value of the Old Testament, let as lose no time in setting ourselves right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Charles Foster Kent's seminal work, 'The Origin and Permanent Value of the Old Testament,' the author delves into the historical and literary underpinnings of the ancient texts that make up the Old Testament. Kent's detailed analysis not only explores the origins of the Old Testament books but also highlights their enduring significance and relevance in shaping religious thought and societal norms. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, this book provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the rich literary context in which these sacred texts were crafted, offering valuable insights into the evolution of religious thought over time. Kent's meticulous research and compelling narrative make this book an essential read for anyone interested in biblical studies or the history of religious texts. Charles Foster Kent, a renowned scholar of Old Testament studies, brings his expertise to bear in this book, drawing on years of research and academic inquiry to present a compelling argument for the enduring value of the Old Testament. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the subject matter, Kent sheds light on the complex genesis and lasting impact of these ancient texts, offering readers a fresh perspective on the Bible's foundational teachings. I highly recommend 'The Origin and Permanent Value of the Old Testament' to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the historical and literary significance of the Old Testament, as well as those interested in the evolution of religious thought throughout human history.

Download or read book The Gospel in the Old Testament Classic Reprint written by C. f. Burney and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel in the Old Testament The events of the past six years have served to bring into clearer relief the permanent religious value of much of the Old Testament teaching, and many of the sermons stand in relation to burning questions which were directly raised by the war, and form as it were landmarks of stages in the crisis through which we have passed. These have been allowed to remain as they were written, on the view that their applica tion to the special circumstances of the moment would illustrate the more clearly the abiding moral and spiritual importance of the Old Testament. Their grouping under this aspect may be gathered from the dates which are given in the Table of Contents. As arranged in the book they follow the natural Old Testament order; and it has happened, without special design, that they offer an outline of Old Testament history in relation to religious thought which is fairly continuous for a considerable period.1 Thus the writer hopes that the book may not be without value as a brief introduction to the historical study of Old Testament religion. The writer's thanks are due to the editor of the Interpreter for permission to reprint Sermons V. And VI.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Value of the Old Testament: In the Light of Modern Scholarship IT is obvious that the attitude of the educated man to the Bible has undergone nothing less than a revolution. Instead of the authori tative pronouncement of Deity through arbi trarily chosen instruments, the Bible is now regarded as a great body of literature, one part differing from another part in glory. And the parts have been seen to be of far greater value than the Whole. As the Bible lies before us, it is a misleading book. Both in the Old and in the New Testaments, the historical frame work is untrustworthy. The ecclesiastical2 religious value OF old testament.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament Today Arouse suspicions of its message than those attempts to conceal or explain away the facts of its origin. The time has surely come when we should try to exchange the old attitude to scripture for one that will be more consistent with the results of modern enquiry. These results, it may be granted, are often one-sided, and in every matter of detail are Open to revision. Those who are best acquainted with them will be the first to admit that they are by no means final. But the main conclu sions at which modern scholars have arrived can no longer be questioned, and have to be taken into account in our estimate of the book. If it is to exercise its proper influence on the new age it must be presented as it really is, not as an ignorant piety has imagined it. The aim of the following chapters is to help, in some small way, towards the new presentation. The book of the primitive church was composed so long ago, out of so many strange elements, that it might seem to have nothing but a historical interest for the mind of our time. Yet it has proved itself, - and never more so than in these changeful days, - to be the most living of all books. Its conceptions of man's needs and duties, of his relation to God and to his fellow-men, have stood every test, and are likely to be enduring. How is it that the ancient book has this permanent value? It was formerly assumed that the riddle could only be answered by a theory of direct inspiration; but such a theory is no longer possible, nor is it necessary. Nothing essen tial is lost to the New Testament when we allow for the historical process whereby it came into being. Its permanent message becomes in many ways more intel ligible, and can be applied more closely to actual needs and circumstances. In any case, the book must be understood in the light of modern knowledge before it can fully appeal to the modern world. In these days.

Download or read book The Life and Growth of Israel written by Samuel Alfred Browne Mercer and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Growth of Israel: A Brief Old Testament History Israel's gift to mankind was a spiritual and religious one. For almost twenty Christian centuries men have searched her sacred scriptures for spiritual food and they have never searched in vain. Whether her brilliant career be studied culturally, historically, or religiously, abundant results are always assured. Israel's history has always been interesting her civilization has ever been fascinating and her religion never fails to inspire. But her history has too often been rendered unnecessarily dull because she has too often been studied as if her career had been primarily secular and not essentially religious. Israel was a religious nation and it is impossible to study her history without making it religious history. A bare enumeration of dates names and events completely misses the essence of her unique career. Consequently the object of this little book has been to write a history of Israel as she was and wished to be - a history of Israel where the secular interests have been subordinated to the religious and spiritual. An attempt has been made to interpret Israel's history in the way in which her own writers often successfully did.
