Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Books of the Old Testament: A Short Introduction The following pages are designed for those readers who are interested in the Old Testament, not only as a storehouse of devotion and doctrine, but also as a collection of ancient writings presenting many literary and historical problems. In the space at the writer´s disposal, it will be obvious that only the more important of these problems could be discussed. For convenience of reference, the order of books in the English Version has been followed. How little this is a guide to the origin of the books may be illustrated by the ct that the account of Creation on the first page of the Old Testament and the prophecy of ´Malachi´ on the last were published at practically the same time. The chronological tables will assist the reader to fix the succession of the different writings. The writer may be allowed to suggest here that the critical analyses of the historical books, on which so much of their interpretation depends, can be appreciated only if some means be taken to represent them to the eye. For the Hexateuch, the works mentioned in the text do this by means of variations of type, and so far as issued the parts of the Polychrome Bible fey die more expensive but clearer method of colours. In the following pages, however, sufficiently detailed notes of analysis have been included to enable the student to construct a PolyduDome Bible for himself if he takes the trouble to washin the text of the various sources by means of water-colours. The thanks of the author are due and are hereby offered to the Rev. J. Estlin Carpenter for many helpful suggestions and criticisms.
