Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The People´s Bible, Vol. 14: Discourses Upon Holy Scripture Or, The words of the great Orator, or Convener - one who calls an assembly together. This Preacher was the son of David - a man, therefore, with a great hereditary claim to attention; probably there will be music in his speech and pathos; he may have succeeded to his father´s harp as well as to his father´s throne. It is not often in the Bible that we are challenged to hear the words of a great man, viewed from an earthly standpoint. We are called upon to listen to prophets without ancestry, and to apostles whose genealogy was of yesterday, and whose occupation was said to be more or less servile; but in this case we are summoned to hear the words of Coheleth, the son of David, a crowned and enthroned teacher of morals. He is represented as "king in Jerusalem" - a man of the highest social position. We cannot but wonder what he will say, seeing that he has only seen the upper side of life, and can have known nothing of what the poor understand by want, homelessness, and all the degradation of penury and an outcast condition. Kings must of necessity talk the language of coloured sentiment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
