Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Messages of the Prophetic and Priestly Historians: The Writings of the Historians of the Old Testament, Arranged So as to Distinguish Their Principal Sources, and Freely Rendered in Paraphrase In accordance with the general purpose of the series to which it belongs, this volume on the "Messages of the Prophetic and Priestly Historians" aims at presenting the essential, that is, the religious messages of the historical books of the Old Testament, as those messages are reached and interpreted by the scholarship of to-day. To the attainment of this aim, some preliminary critical discussion is indispensable; for, on the ground covered by these books, arise many of the most keenly debated problems of the Old Testament - problems too numerous and grave to be even adequately stated, far less disposed of, within the limits prescribed by the conditions of the series, and by the restricted space at my disposal. I have tried, as clearly and briefly as I could, to give some sketch of the manner in which these problems are dealt with, and at least approximate results attained, by modern scholarship. But the sketch is in no sense a plea; it is simply a dispassionate presentation of the facts, and I have sought never to go beyond inferences which the facts seemed to warrant. The argument for the positions adopted is really cumulative, and is strengthened by numerous considerations which there was no opportunity here for discussing.
