Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Koheleth, Commonly Called Ecclesiastes: Considered in Relation to Modern Criticism, and to the Doctrines of Modern Pessimism, With a Critical and Grammatical Commentary and A; Revised Translation The greater part of the following work consists of the Donnellan Lectures delivered from the pulpit of Trinity College, Dublin, in 1880-1. In a course of lectures, restricted to six in number, it was impossible to do more than allude to several questions which are here more fully discussed. Most of the second chapter, and considerable portions of other chapters were not included in the Donnellan Lectures, and the larger pare of that on "the Song of Koheleth," was delivered as a lecture in the Law School of the University of Cambridge, in April, 1882. The publication of Prof. Robertson Smith´s Lectures in 1881, on The Old Testament in the Jewish Church, and of M. Ernest Renan´s work on Ecclesiastes early in 1882, necessitated considerable alterations and additions being made to this work. As in my Bampton Lectures at Oxford, so in the Donnellan Lectures, I did not consider it advisable to throw my dissertations into the shape of ordinary pulpit discourses. Such a form would have fettered the treatment of the subject, and have been entirely unsuited to the object I had in view. That some critics should have blamed this exercise of freedom is only what might have been expected, but I have seen no reason to regret the course taken. Hence the following chapters exhibit few traces of having been delivered as University sermons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
