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 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 An Historico Critical Introduction to the Pentateuch Classic Reprint written by Heinrich Andreas Christoph Havernick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historico-Critical Introduction to the Pentateuch The work, of which the present volume is ft translation, is a portion of a larger work, entitled "Handbuch der historisch-kritischen Einleitung in das Alte Testament," a Manual of Historico-critical Introduction to the Old Testament; and forms the first part of the Special Introduction. It is the publisher's intention to bring out, in the latter part of this year, a translation of that division of the above work which relates to the General Introduction to the Old Testament, including in one volume the discussion of such topics as the formation of the Canon of the Old Testament, the history of the Hebrew Language, the Ancient Versions, &c. This, it is hoped, will be found extremely serviceable for use as a class-book in our Theological Institutions. The translation, which will be executed by Dr W. L. Alexander of Edinburgh, will be accompanied by an introductory notice of the merits of Havernick as a critic and commentator, which relieves the present translator of the task of attempting to do very imperfectly what will be satisfactorily performed by an abler hand. With respect to the present work, the translator would only add that, while it is occupied almost exclusively with a discussion of the question, so much debated of late in Germany, as to the genuineness of the Pentateuch - treating both of the Mosaic authorship and of the historical credibility of the work, points that are essentially connected; it would be wrong to regard its publication as superseded by the previous appearance of Hengstenberg's valuable Dissertations on the same subject. It is at once a more complete and methodical, and also a more compact work, answering to its title of a Manual. The principles also on which it is based, and of which it presents a thorough and masterly exposition in its treatment of the different sections of the Pentateuch as they come under review, are, in the translator's opinion, of the highest importance, such as alone will lead to a satisfactory and consistent apprehension of the peculiar character, spirit, and bearing of the Old Testament writings. They will prove the surest antidote to the rationalistic and infidel spirit, which is now seeking to diffuse itself amongst the educated and reflecting classes in this country. We sec it here encountered, on its native soil, by an able antagonist, and foiled with the right weapons.

Download or read book The Pentateuch written by Joseph Blenkinsopp and published by Anchor Bible. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pentateuch (its Greek name, but also known as the Torah by the Hebrews) consists of the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. From Adam and Eve in the Garden, to Noah's Ark, to Moses' parting of the Red Sea, to its conclusion with the death of Moses, the Pentateuch contains some of the most important and memorable stories in Western civilization. In this richly detailed work, which has become a standard in the field, renowned biblical scholar Joseph Blenkinsopp unravels (as Harold Bloom did in The Book of J) the radical scholarly opinions on just where these ancient and powerful stories come from, how they were formed, and what significance they have today. In the classroom, when professors cover these books of Moses, they turn to Dr. Blenkinsopp's classic for reliable, accessible discussions of all the important details.

This book was released on 2018-07-07 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to the Old Testament by John Edgar McFadyen Excerpt THE ORDER OF THE BOOKS In the English Bible the books of the Old Testament are arranged, not in the order in which they appear in the Hebrew Bible, but in that assigned to them by the Greek translation. In this translation the various books are grouped according to their contents-first the historical books, then the poetic, and lastly the prophetic. This order has its advantages, but it obscures many important facts of which the Hebrew order preserves a reminiscence. The Hebrew Bible has also three divisions, known respectively as the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Old Testament, Vol. 1 of 2 Bleek's Introduction to the Old Testament which is here for the first time presented in an English dress, has been long and favourably known to Biblical students as, perhaps, the most complete and trustworthy of the works which, under the same title, and professing the same oh jects, have appeared with such rapidity in Germany during the last quarter of a century. Many as these so-called Introductions are, and various their degrees of excel lence, this of Bleek's deserves to be specially commended for the union of the qualities most essential to the character of such a work: thorough acquaintance with every depart ment of the subject, breadth of view, honesty and fairness of treatment, quickness of perception of the main points at issue, calmness of judgment, and, above all, deep reverence for Holy Scripture as the Revelation of the Mind and Will of God.
