Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Books of the Pentateuch: Their Origin, Contents, and Significance In using a work of this character the student is some times tempted to confine his study to the book on Intro duction and to neglect the study Of the biblical text. This is a serious mistake. N 0 one can understand and appreciate the weakness or strength of an argument un less he makes constant use of the book in which the facts upon which the argument is based are found. Therefore, the author would urge the student to base his study upon the biblical text and to use the Introduction simply as a guide to a clearer understanding of the facts presented in the Bible. It should further be noted that a work of this kind cannot undertake a detailed interpretation of the message of a book. It introduces the student to the book and the book to the student; and after furnishing the introduction.

Download or read book The Pentateuch Its Origin and Structure written by Edwin Cone Bissell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch, Its Origin and Structure: An Examination of Recent Theories While pursuing Old Testament studies in the University at Leipsic, some years since, the writer became warmly interested in the subject of Pentateuch criticism, especially in connection with the more private societies (Gesellschaften) of Delitzsch and Guthe, where it was made the chief topic of discussion. Having once entered upon it, he found the questions it raised of too grave a nature to be relinquished without a serious effort at settlement. In fact, in view of the startling conclusions reached by an eminently respectable portion of German scholarship, he felt bound to give reasons, at least to himself, for his faith in an Old Testament revelation. He has accordingly had before him, for the most part, the criticism in its German form. For his readers this method of treatment will have the advantage, that, while the works of such representative writers as Graf and Wellhausen are no less easily comprehensible in their leading principles and terms, they fully include, and are the evident source of, the most that has been said on that side of the question in England and America. A little more than one half of the present book has already appeared in print: the papers numbered i., iii., v., vii., viii., in the Bibliotheca Sacra during the years 1882-84; and iv. in the Journal of the Society for Biblical Literature and Exegesis for July - December, 1884. All such papers, however, have been carefully revised, and to some of them considerable additions been made. A work of this kind, if it is to be faithfully done, requires the conscientious study of problems of the utmost intricacy and perplexity. The cursory reader, it is likely, will turn rapidly over the papers numbered iii. - vi., dealing mostly with the origin and inner relationship of Pentateuch laws. But to the more thoughtful reader and the student who is aware that, for a score of years, it has been in this thicket of the Hebrew legislation that some of the keenest intellects of the age have wrestled mightily over great biblical questions, they will have a peculiar attraction. Every law of the Pentateuch, aside from a few in Exodus having no important bearing on the subject in hand, has been brought under review in these four papers and conveniently tabulated.

This book was released on 2016-11-12 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular Introduction to the Pentateuch It is not an unlikely supposition that we owe to the Greek translators the division of the whole into five parts, inasmuch as the names of the different books are not of Hebrew, but Greek origin. The ms. Of the Pentateuch forms in the Hebrew one single roll or volume, which is broken up into sections, not into books. It is therefore to be regarded as 'one book in five parts.' 'we are accustomed to see the Pentateuch divided into five books, and to regard it as consisting of five separate writings. But this seems to be an erroneous View of the case, and it has served to give readier currency to inaccurate theories concerning its authorship.'

Download or read book Introduction to Reading the Pentateuch written by Jean Louis Ska and published by Eisenbrauns. This book was released on 2006 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jean Louis Ska's Introduzione alla lettura del Pentateuco was first published in Italy, it was quickly hailed as the most attractive and usable introduction to the Pentateuch to appear in modern times. Because of its strengths, it was soon translated into French. The English translation published by Eisenbrauns has been completely reviewed and updated (including the bibliography) by Ska. Among the book's many strengths are its close attention to the ways in which modern cultural history has affected Pentateuchal interpretation, attention to providing the kinds of examples that are helpful to students, presentation of a good balance between the history of interpretation and the data of the text, and the clarity of Ska's writing. For both students and scholars, many consider this book the best contemporary introduction to the Pentateuch.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pentateuch and Book of Joshua, Vol. 3: Critically Examined IN this Third Part Of my work I had intended, as I said in Part II, to enter into a close examination of the book Of Genesis, and seek to assign the different parts of it, with such degree of probability as the case admits of, to their respective authors.' I had also stated that in Part III we should have to 'consider at length' the questions affecting the origin Of the book of Deuteronomy, 'in order to be able to detect the passages due to its author in the books of Genesis, Exodus, &c.' I have found it necessary, however, in this Part to confine myself to the latter portion Of my proposed undertaking, in order that I might do the work required more thoroughly, and place the evidence, in as clear and complete a form as possible, before the eyes of my readers. It seemed Of the more importance to do this, and to confine attention for the present to this particular point, inasmuch as the evidence in this case is so very distinct and decisive, that, if I carry my readers with me here, I shall have, in effect, accomplished my main Object in these criticisms, and cleared the way, at all events, for an intelligent and unbiassed examination Of the whole question.

Download or read book The Pentateuch Classic Reprint written by Arthur Charles Hervey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The PentateuchScripture, is the name by which we designate that collection of writings which stand on a different footing from any other writings in the world, because they are, "inspired of God," or, as the word is rendered in the Authorised Version, "given by inspiration of God" (2 Tim. iii. 16). Speaking of the Old Testament only, we know for certain which are the books to which this peculiar, this sacred character belongs; because the Canon, as it is called, of Holy Scripture is identically the same to-day as it was in the days of our Lord and His Apostles, and they always speak of Holy Scripture as possessing a Divine authority. To quote but one of many of the sayings of Jesus Christ, He says: "The Scripture cannot be broken" (John x.35); and He quotes it with the distinctive formula, "It is written" (Matt. iv. 4, 9, 10, &c.); and the Apostles everywhere refer to the same Holy Scriptures as an authority from which there is no appeal.The books contained in the Canon were divided by the Jews into three portions - the Law, the Prophets, and the Hagiographa; a division acknowledged by our Lord, who in Luke xxiv. 44 speaks of "the Law and the Prophets and the Psalms," the Psalms being the chief book comprised in the Hagiographa.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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?

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historico-Critical Inquiry Into the Origin and Composition of the Hexateuch: Pentateuch and Book of Joshua The first edition of Professor Kuenen's Historico-critical Inquiry into the Origin and Collection of the Books of the Old Testament was exhausted some years ago, and the work here presented to the English reader is the first instalment (the only one that has yet appeared) of the second edition. It is, therefore, properly speaking, the opening chapter of a complete treatise on the Books of the Old Testament. The special intricacy of the critical questions raised by the Pentateuch and Book of Joshua, the great amount of attention which they have recently excited, and the importance of their bearings upon the history of Israelite religion, have led Professor Kuenen to deal with them at exceptional length; and the same considerations confer upon this portion of his work an independent interest and value which make it unnecessary to offer any apology for laying it before English Students of the Bible - at least provisionally - in the form of a substantive work; but in justice to Professor Kuenen, it should be borne in mind that the subject is treated throughout from the point of view of a general 'Introduction, ' not from that of a monograph on the Hexateuch.

Download or read book Old Testament History Classic Reprint written by Ismar J. Peritz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-25 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Testament History The present treatment of Old Testament history aims to conform to the object of the series as handbooks to Bible study. The Bible itself is, accordingly, the main primary source. In each Section the biblical text, as indicated in the margin, is the basis Of the discussion, and requires the first attention of the student. Where the biblical material is most abundant the history is consequently the fullest. But it has become increasingly evident that the material of the Bible is not chronologically arranged, but that accounts centuries apart in their origin and point of view are Often found side by Side or interwoven with each other. The recognition of this fact is the result of the historical and scientific method of the Bible study of our day. It will account for the order and method here adopted. If the reason for the procedure is not always fully stated, it is due to the design of the series not to deal SO much with the process as with the results achieved. Only where Silence would leave the biblical situation obscure was it deemed necessary to enter into the discussion of critical questions, and then only in the briefest way possible. The logical movement of Old Testament history which is the outcome of the critical use of the biblical material proves ultimately its strongest justification.

Download or read book The Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch Classic Reprint written by William Henry Green and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Higher Criticism of the Pentateuch Moses have been strenuously impugned in the name of the Higher Criticism. It has been claimed as one of its most certain results, scientifically established, that they have been falsely ascribed to Moses, and were in reality produced at a much later period. It is affirmed that the history is by no means reliable and merely records the uncertain and variant traditions of a post-mosaic age; and that the laws are not those of Moses, but the growth of centuries after his time. All this is demonstrably based on false and sophistical reasoning, which rests on unfounded assumptions and employs weak and inconclu sive arguments. It is the purpose of this volume to show, as briefly and compactly as possible, that the faith of all past ages in respect to the Pentateuch has not been mistaken. It is what it claims to be, and what it has always been be lieved to be. In the first chapter it is exhibited in its relation to the Old Testament as a whole, of which it is not only the initial portion, but the basis or foundation upon which the entire superstructure reposes; or rather, it contains the germs from which all that follows was developed. In the second, the plan and contents of the Pentateuch are unfolded. It has one theme, which is consistently adhered to, and which is treated with or derly arrangement and upon a carefully considered plan suggestive of a single author. In the third it is shown by a variety of arguments, both external and internal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
