Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hebrew Ideals: A Study of Genesis From Chap; XI. To L This handbook is an attempt to give, not a criticism of documents, but a sympathetic interpretation of ideals, and it is written for the purpose of assisting those who desire first to prove all things, and then to hold fast that which is good. Much critical work has recently been done, and every analysis naturally leads to a fresh synthesis. It is sometimes said that ´vast tracts of Scripture, and especially of the Old Testament, which were luminous and very comfortable to our fathers, are bare desert to the younger generation of preachers.´ If there are such tracts, I believe they can all be reclaimed. Genesis, at any rate, should not be allowed to become desert; and rightly cultivated it will always rejoice and blossom as the rose. My conviction is that when criticism has done its worst, or, as I for one prefer to say, its best, Luther´s words will be as true as ever: Nihil pulchrius Genesi, nihil utilius. The main portion of Genesis was probably published in the ninth or the eighth century B.C. I assume that it mirrors the period to which it belongs. It is true to the highest moral sentiments of the age. It faithfully represents the supreme type of excellence to which the best minds were then tending. It is in harmony with their beliefs, feelings, and aspirations. It was meant to take possession of human life, to make certain great ideals current, to commend the highest principles of action and rules of conduct.
