Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Use of the Old Testament in the Light of Modern Knowledge The Old Testament, so full of inspiration to those who understand how it grew, is no less full of per plexity to those - and they are many - Whose duty it is to expound it in the day school, the Sunday school, the Bible class, or the pulpit. For the first effect of criticism is undoubtedly to disturb and confuse. To those who are imperfectly acquainted with its methods and results a certain sense of in security and bewilderment is inevitable. Fortun ately, large sections of the literature are simple and intelligible enough; but other sections are beset with difficulties and problems which paralyse the power of the teacher or the preacher to use them in a way that is fruitful and persuasive to the modern mind, unless he has the key. With the former sections this book does not deal: it deals almost exclusively with the areas that create the perplexity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roots of Christian Teaching as Found in the Old Testament This little volume has been written for those who would study the Old Testament devotionally. Many are puzzled to know how to use the Old Testament. They have an idea that modern knowledge and mod ern methods of study have wrought great changes in our conception of that part of our Bible, but just what these changes are they often do not know, and when they do know, often experience a vague sense of help lessness with reference to the use to which the Old Testament may be put.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours With the Bible, Vol. 4: Or the Scriptures in the Light of Modern Knowledge Not unnaturally, three days' delay were demanded by Rehoboam before he gave his answer. However willing to make a just concession, his dignity required him to do it as became a king. Had he been equal to the occasion, the future of Israel might have been different. But a revolution was inevitable. The king hearkened not unto the people for the cause was from the lord.2 Instinctively turning to the venerable men who had stood before his father, men thoughtful and experienced, they gave him advice which, had it been taken, might have averted the catastrophe. Gentle words, they said, and timely concessions, would bind the tribes to him for ever. But it is hard for a despot to humble himself. Was there no way of meeting the difficulty more flattering to his pride A younger generation of court iers had grown up around him; he would ask them. In their light insolence, however, they had no idea but coer cion. Who were they who dared Oppose the will of a king Rehoboam should treat them as slaves, and tell them that.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours With the Bible, or the Scriptures in the Light of Modern Discovery and Knowledge: From Rehoboam to Hezekiah Now for Dr. Smith's deduction from the second meaning of the word. He assumes that Jacob set up an idolatrous sun-pillar, and founds on this the assertion that such a symbol of Baal and of the foul Asherah, the emblem of lust and impurity, had been used by the patriarchs, and continued to exist in sanctuaries of Jehovah down to the eighth century. 14 He complacently adds, This de tail is one of the clearest proofs that Deuteronomy was unknown till long after the days of Moses l The whole book is, I regret to say, neither better nor worse than this sample.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hours With the Bible, Vol. 3: Or the Scriptures in the Light of Modern Discovery and Knowledge This clever, fierce race are represented on the Egyptian monuments as a beardless people, wearing a peculiar kind of cap or tiara, and it is thought by some scholars that they belonged to the same Mongolian stock as the Hittites. This, possibly, explains the fact that the Assyrians called the Philistine town Ashdod, a city of the Hittites, and it may be, incidentally, more probable from the existence at the present day of two Villages on the Philistine plain, called, respectively, Hatta and Kefr Hatta, which seem names preserving that of the Hittites. It is now at least twenty centuries, however, since the name of the Philistines as a distinct people has passed away, though the race, no doubt, still survives in a more or less mixed form, in the local peasantry of to-day. Their five cities, once so terrible to Israel, though still surviving. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
