Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Text of the Old Testament The three lectures printed here and which were delivered in December, 1915, are a further development of the following ideas which I put forward in my book Archaeology of the Old Testament. The books of the Old Testament are not in their original form. The earliest of them were written in Babylonian cuneiform, the later ones in Aramaic. Their present form was given them when the rabbis turned the books into the vernacular of Jerusalem, to which a new script, the square Hebrew, derived from Aramaic, was adapted. The Judaic dialect, written with that alphabet, is what we call Hebrew. I do not wonder that, as Professor van Hoonacker says, these ideas have at present little success with the Biblical scholars, especially with the Higher Critics, who see their system attacked by an opponent who is by no means a Semitic scholar. My answer is that I have endeavoured to revert to sound historical principles. I have tried to test by history not only the commonly received opinions about the books of the Old Testament, but also the leading statements of the critics, their reconstruction of the literature of the Old Testament. This has determined the plan of these lectures. I could grasp my subject only in the second, because, when I had to speak of the language in which the books of the.Old Testament were composed, I had to begin by indicating which books I meant. For we stand before two conflicting conceptions. Either these books are those we know from tradition based on what they say, on their very words;or they are the books of the critics who have cut them in pieces, who assign to them totally different dates from those of tradition, and totally different authors from those whose names they bear. I had to explain why I could not accept the critical view, and why I should only consider the books such as they appear, taking the plain meaning of what they say.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Books of the Old Testament Nearly all Old Testament scholars in Germany, England, and America, who have been trained in the universities and are not adherents of the Roman Catholic faith, are agreed as to the main results which have been achieved by careful investigations carried on during the nineteenth century, though there are necessarily differences of opinion upon secondary details. It is important that the reader should realise the immense gulf which separates the modern physical conditions of book-making, since the discovery of printing, from the ancient conditions when all records were laboriously copied by hand upon such rough materials as skins or papyrus and were preserved in rolls.

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.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Introduction to the Old Testament the Text The subject of the Canon of the Old Testament was discussed in a previous volume. The history of its formation was traced, the determining principle of its collection was considered, and the books contained in it were identified. One who is entering upon the study of these books will further desire to inquire into the character and condition of their text. The first thing to engage attention is the language in which the Old Testament was originally written, in its relation to other forms of human speech, and its special adaptation to be the vehicle of this preliminary revelation. The history of Hebrew as a living language will bring to light diversities of usage in different styles of composition and in different periods of time; and it is a matter of interest and importance to inquire whether any facts ascertained tend to discredit the genuineness of the books of Moses in whole or in part. And the history of its study since Hebrew ceased to be spoken will show what reason there is to believe that it is correctly understood by modem scholars. The changes which have taken place in its written characters naturally suggest the inquiry whether they have in any way proved detrimental to the accuracy with which the text has been preserved, or have injuriously affected its interpretation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Testament Manuscripts in the Freer Collection In the publication of the manuscript of the Psalms the chief task has been to separate and read the badly decayed and black ened leaves. No pains have been spared in making the work as complete and accurate as possible, yet in all too many cases these decayed fragments of a manuscript have no evidence on most interesting passages. All decayed or lost lines and parts of lines have been filled out in the text publication from the Swete text. Except where the amount of space in the manuscript proved the existence of a variant. The first fifteen Psalms are so fragmen tary. That it seemed best to give those lines only of which some part is preserved.
