The Old Testament Its Contents, Truth and Worth (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

IN this volume I have endeavoured to place before readers of the English Bible, in small compass, information about the contents and origin of the Old Testament; also, as far as possible, the reasons which have led nearly all modern scholars, with remarkable unanimity, to a change of opinion about its authorship and date. I have not thought fit to perplex them by quoting conflicting authorities; but have stated, as I understand it, the evidence on which rest the assured results of modern scholarship.Some overlapping has been inevitable. At various points it has been needful to turn back and look at results already gained. In this I have set a good example to my readers.It must not be forgotten that this book is designed, not to supersede, but to stimulate, careful personal study of the Sacred Records. Only thus can rational opinions be formed about their worth and authority. And such patient and repeated study will yield a rich harvest of blessing. Even the contrast of Old and New helps us better to understand the supreme revelation given in Christ.The books which have helped me are far too many to specify. But, of modern works, I may mention Dr. Geden's most useful and interesting Introduction to the Hebrew Bible; Dr. Findlay's admirable Books of the Prophets, of which we wait for the concluding volume; and a most attractive and helpful work, sketching the history and portraying the inner life of Israel, Prof. Wilfrid J. Moulton's Witness of Israel.11 DYNEVOR RD.,RICHMOND, SURREY.December 1911.CrossReach Publications
