Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wisdom Books, (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes) Also Lamentations and Song of Songs, in Modern Speech and Rhythmical Form The generous reception accorded to The Psalms in Modern Speech and Rhythmical Form leads me to hope that the translation of other parts of the Old Testament, executed along similar lines, may be not unwelcome. This volume and its predecessor together comprise all the specifically poetical books of the Old Testament - that is, all the poetry that lies outside the prophetic literature and the sporadic poems or fragments of poems embedded in the historical books. In this volume, as in the other, I have endeavoured to let the writers speak to us in the language of to-day, and also with something of the music which haunts their words in their original form. Perhaps no translation of a poem can ever do it adequate justice; but even approximate justice is impossible where cadence and rhythm and all that make it a poem are deliberately ignored. For while thought is as essential to poetry as to prose, these things are of its essence too. Two impressions rise upon the mind from this conspectus of Hebrew poetry. One is that of its astonishing range and variety. Here, if anywhere, we come upon the humanism of the Bible; and here, if anywhere, Hebrew literature challenges comparison with the literatures of other peoples. These books breathe the spirit of the great world. The pessimism of Ecclesiastes is the voice of the weary souls of a hundred lands.

Download or read book Wisdom Literature written by Roland Edmund Murphy and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1981 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. Murphy sees three of the six books (Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes) as being technically 'wisdom literature.' The others are either love poems or historical narrative that fit well within the context of the subject presented here. In this volume previous form-critical work is carefully evaluated, and the result is a thorough-going form-critical treatment of this part of the Old Testament. The work is enhanced by bibliographies for each Old Testament book and a glossary of general terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs: Introductions Revised Version With Notes and Index THE three books to be discussed in this volume may be said to constitute the lighter side of Jewish literature. Two of them are strictly poetic in form, while the third contains many passages of exquisite poetic prose. We are not to suppose, however, that all the lighter literature of the Hebrews is contained in these three books. We have folk-songs, for instance, in other books of the Old Testament. Notable examples are to be found in Gen. iv. 23, 'The Song of Lamech'; Gen. xlix, 'The Blessing of Jacob'; Num. xxi. 16-18, (The Song of the Well'; Num. xxi. 27-30, 'The Triumph over Heshbon.' Admirable examples of the popular and sometimes humorous tales are to be found in the stories of Samson, Gideon, the youthful adventures of David, and many similar narratives. Lyrics of exceeding beauty occur among the Psalms, in the pages of Isaiah, and in the Book of Lamentations, while a lovely example of a popular idyll is to be found in the Book of Ruth, and a romantic novel, founded upon fact, in the Book of Esther. Outside the borders of the O. T. there exist numerous examples of literature similar to that we have been describing in the collection of books known as the Apocrypha, where in the Books of Tobit and Judith are examples of popular tales, while Ecclesiasticus and the Wisdom of Solomon stand very close in thought and character to the Book of Proverbs. The three books with which we have immediately to deal are very distinct in character, the one being either a long and elaborate lyrical poem on the passion of love, or a collection of such tender lyrics.

Download or read book Proverbs Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs for Everyone written by John Goldingay and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Westminster John Knox Press is pleased to present the seventeen-volume Old Testament for Everyone series. Internationally respected Old Testament scholar John Goldingay addresses Scripture from Genesis to Malachi in such a way that even the most challenging passages are explained simply and concisely. The series is perfect for daily devotions, group study, or personal visits with the Bible. In this volume, Goldingay explores three books of the Old Testament in the wisdom literature genre. These three books are all associated with Solomon and his wisdom, yet unlike other books, they do not mention the Torah, the exodus, or the covenant. As Goldingay says, "The basis of their teaching is the way life actually works. They look at life and reflect on experience and encourage people to live on the basis of how life works." Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs for Everyone explores three practical, down to earth, and hopeful books.
