Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Job: A Revised Text and Version In responding to Dr. Ball´s request that I should write a preface to his commentary on the Book of Job I feel very strongly that I run the risk of appearing lightly to commit an act of intolerable assumption. Dr. Ball was well known as an accomplished Hebrew scholar when I was a child in the nursery. He guided my first steps in the study of Hebrew; and throughout my life I have been and still am his pupil, gaining from him a store of knowledge and inspiration for which it is impossible adequately to express my obligation. All Hebrew scholars who matter are well aware of his preeminent gifts, and will joyfully welcome his detailed and critical discussion of the most difficult book in the Old Testament. If, theft, I undertake the task which gratitude and affection forbid me to decline, I must be understood to be addressing myself to younger scholars to whom Dr. Ball´s reputation may not be so familiar as it is to an older generation. Perhaps the most striking characteristic of the present commentary is its originality and freshness. The writer does not profess laboriously to have studied and digested the works of all former scholars upon the Book of Job; I suspect indeed that there are; many such which he has not troubled to consult. This, in my opinion, is all to the good. Biblical exegesis labours under the burden of volumes which are, mainly if not wholly, commentaries upon other commentaries. Such a Rabbinic method of exegesis, if intelligently performed, has a certain value; yet it can hardly be doubted that it has a serious tendency to stifle originality of thought, and not seldom (we may suspect) it is the mark of the kind of scholarship which is incapable of reaching original conclusions.
