Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lily Among Thorns: A Study of the Biblical Drama Entitled the Song of Songs The fruits of a century of critical study of Hebrew are now within reach of all. Three generations of reverent students of text, rather than of tradition, have revealed the Bible as literature. The remarkable agreement in theory and result reached, and the total wealth of old truths re-discovered, are equally causes of gratitude. The analogy in the natural world has been the collateral progress in geology and the location of earth´s unused treasures in old and new lands. As the miner is first to profit by the studies of the geologist, so the first to utilize the researches of orientalists should be ministers who are pastors and teachers of the Word of God. No book of the Bible has been so inaccessible to the ordinary reader, none so walled about, matted over, and hidden by tradition, as the Song of Songs. This Thornrose castle of the Hebrew world has stood for centuries like some battlemented tower mantled with rank growths of ivy and all wild vines. Its external form has prompted to innumerable conjectures as to what was within. The great Hebraists of our century, like the prince in Teutonic story, have not contented themselves with beholding the outside.
