Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetry and the Religion of the Psalms The following pages are devoted to a consideration of the Place of the Psalms in the History and the Religion of the Old Testament, and under that title they were delivered as the Croall Lectures for 1893-04. I have to thank the Trustees for extending to me the time allowed for the publication of the Lectures. The delay has enabled me to return once and again, as I was desirous of doing, in something of the attitude of a critic of my own positions. When one's conclusions do not agree with the current views of those who are regarded as authorities, it becomes him at least not to be rash in the publication of them.

Download or read book The Book of Psalms written by Jeffrey M. Cohen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeffrey Cohen employs his poetic skill and biblical scholarship to the challenging task of rendering the Book of Psalms into rhymed verse. While there are several fine renderings into English blank verse, notably that of Robert Alter, it is Cohen's belief that it is the rhymed verse genre that can best convey the vibrant and passionate spirit of the original Hebrew poetry, and its innate lyricism that lent it, so naturally and from ancient times, to musical and choral accompaniment. This highly original work conveys the inner meaning, lyricism, and message of the psalms in a manner that will engage and inspire adherents of all faiths and none. It also provides a useful exegetical tool for all who use the Bible for study, teaching, or preaching, demystifying many words and phrases whose meaning translators and commentators acknowledge as uncertain in the original text. This is as much a commentary as a work of poetry, as testified to by the endorsements of several Cambridge University biblical and Hebrew scholars. Before proceeding to create his poetry, the writer consulted the ancient Greek and Latin translations, as well as medieval and modern Jewish and non-Jewish interpretations, in order to attempt to clarify many of the acknowledged textual difficulties in the psalms. In many cases this impelled him to offer his own original interpretations. Readers will find these most helpful in clarifying the thematic link between many succeeding lines and paragraphs that, on a cursory reading of the standard translations, may appear disconnected. For scholars and students of the Bible this work will offer a novel perspective. For those who use the psalms for devotional purposes, this new edition will serve as an inspirational source, and for those whose interest is purely in the poetry, there is also much to appeal.

Classical scholarship and traditional approaches as well as contextual interpretations and practices are well represented.

Download or read book Psalms of Love written by Antony Theodore and published by Kohinoor Books. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psalms constitute the largest book of the Holy Bible. Originally composed as uplifting soulful prayers set to melodious instrumental music, psalms now serve more as daily spiritual guidance for righteous conduct. Antony Theodore’s latest book contains two hundred of his select poems based on holy Christian teachings contained in the Book of Psalms. The poems also make several references to Vedas, Upanishad, Gita, Quran and other ancient scriptures of world religions. The poems are arranged in eight interwoven parts covering Songs of the Wild, Song of the Mystic, Laments of Heart, Paeans of Love, Soul’s Songs, Prayer Talks, Songs of Silence and Hymns of God. The topics range from conjugal love to the secrets of dreams, meditation and telepathy. The book provides a penetrative new interpretation of the universal truths underlying Christ's sermons and the inspired songs of David and Solomon. It shows that the spiritual messages contained in the Holy Gospel are essentially the same as those expounded in scriptures of all world religions. The One Truth has been expressed differently through Veda, Bible, Gita and Quran. The book has been edited by the poet and translator Dr Tapan Kumar Pradhan, who has written its introduction in addition to providing detailed commentary on the poems. Dr Tapan has also brought to light amazing similarities between the Book of Psalms and the ancient Indian scripture Sama Veda in his scholarly analysis of the history of psalms. The book makes a startling revelation about the extraordinary connection between Antony Theodore and the mystic Kashmir poet scholar Hemangi Sharma. Dr Tapan has hinted at a definite past life relationship with Hemangi Sharma / Antony Theodore.
