Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Historical Narrative, of the Old Testament The writer of this little volume has had to face the impossible task of compressing into a few brief pages a sketch of the historical books of the Old Testament, and of indicating the critical problems to which they have given rise. The very impossibility of the task makes it worth attempting. For obviously everything has to be sacrificed but the most salient events of the history and the most outstanding facts of the criticism; and one is thus obliged to concentrate upon things of vital importance. The brevity of treatment has the advantage of enabling the reader to catch the unity and the spirit of Old Testament historical narrative - that impressive unity, which is not always clearly grasped even by those who are familiar with much of the detail, and that religious spirit which is, after all, the thing of supreme importance. The latter point, in particular, the writer of this volume has endeavoured to make plain; for through the Hebrew historians, the God who of old time spoke to the fathers, is speaking still to us.
