Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How to Read the Prophets, Being the Prophecies, Arranged Chronologically in Their Historical Setting, Vol. 3 This volume is the third part of a work in which the words of the prophets are arranged in their historic setting, and as far as possible in their chronological order, that so the reader may be impressed with their original force, and appreciate their special contribution to the course and development of Old Testament religion. The prophecies of Jeremiah require such an arrangement almost more than any other book in the Old Canon. Owing to the blending of history and prophecy found here, separation and replacing are desirable. The particular epochs around which Jeremiah´s activity gathered are well marked; and these should be clearly stated. There is also to be traced a progress and advance in the thought of the prophet, as he moves on from the more hopeful position he assumed in the early reformation of Josiah, through the teaching of the Law Book, to the more distinctly spiritual, with its exalted idealism, in the prophetic forecasting of the future days. As a prophet, Jeremiah is one of the noblest figures in Old Testament history. Living at a time of transition, his life has an almost tragic interest. As a teacher, his religious influence was immense, and in many points touches our modern spirit. Many of the Psalms, the Book of Lamentations, as also that of Job, have been ascribed to him as their author. But for none of this is there evidence sufficiently strong. And though manifestly exposed to great trials, he appears not so much a "weeping prophet" as a "man of God," conserving true religion, moulding "the dialect of stated prayer," and affording much material, and many a suggestion, for those psalms that some have traced to him.
