Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophecy and the Prophets in Their Historical Relations The past few years have seen a revival of interest in the study of the Scriptures. The unique place occupied by the Bible as a means of grace throughout the entire history of the Christian Church has again come to be recognized, and great numbers of old and young have taken up its earnest, devout, and systematic study. This study is by no means confined to the New Testa ment, for Christians are learning more and more that, while they find their loftiest inspiration in the study of the life, the character, and the teaching of the Master and of his disciples, the Old Testament has not been displaced by the New. The early Christians were right in placing the Old Testament by the side of the New, because the former is of inestimable value, and the earnest student soon finds that every part of the book is full of teaching that is of practical value even in the twentieth century A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prophets of Israel: From the Eighth to the Fifth Century; Their Faith and Their Message By the foregoing remarks I have indirectly indicatedmy position also to the view, advanced by a recent school of biblical scholars, that Jewish eschatology existed fully developed in ancient Israel long before the appearance of literary prophecy and that its roots are to be sought in old-babylonian eschatological notions. It may suffice here to point out that the claim of the existence of an old-babylonian eschato logical speculation rests on postulation rather than on established facts, and that - not to consider other objections - to argue the existence of an Israelitish eschatology from the preexilic prophetic writings is possible only by reading abstruse meanings and hidden references into descriptions which, in their essence, are purely imaginative and poetic. The fact is, as I hope to show in the second volume that whatever there is of positive proof points to the rise of Jewish eschatology in the Persian period. Sellin, in his recent book, Der alttestamentliche Prophetismus (leipzig, which has just come to my notice, differs in his view of the eschatology of Israel from the scholars just referred to in that he holds that eschatology was indigenous to Israel, his explanation being that the real root of it lies in the act of Revelation from Sinai (p. I may add that Sellin's view-point through out his treatise is in accord with this explanation. My treatment of the prophets, though it departs to a certain extent from the chronological order of presentation, is not in opposition to, but is in full harmony with the historico-critical method of modern research. This method means for that province of knowledge which deals with the politico-social and mental development of the human race, what the analytic-genetic method means for the province of science. Like the latter it insists that every fact orphenomenon under consideration be minutely ana lyzed, that is to say, that its relation to its environment be determined, and its development and growth and, if possible, also its genesis, be traced. For it, also, emphasizes, as the guiding principle of modern te search, that no real knowledge can be obtained from detached phenomena or isolated facts; in other words, that no fact can be accepted by itself, but must be recognized as a part of a great complex, the inter relations of the various parts of which must be closely studied before the significance of the special phenom enon can be ascertained.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prophets of the Old Testament Individual prophets have received brilliant ex position at the hands of English-speaking scholars. There is still room, however, for a comprehensive treatment of the subject, which allows the prophets to speak for themselves. The present volume seeks to fulfil this ideal, within necessary limits. Thecourse of prophecy is traced from its first morning beams, tillthelightdisappearsintherosyflushoi Apocalypse; the prophets are set on the back ground of their time, and portrayed in their sharply contrasted personality and experience; but the stress throughout is laid on translations of their most significant utterances, which reproduce as nearly. As possible the sense and rhythm of the original. The volume is thus, in subject-matter and method of treatment alike, the complement of my previous work on The Poets of the Old Testament, to which the reader is referred for a statement of general principles.

The prophets were not merely men of genius, who thus became leaders of their race. No theory which omits the element of inspiration in their lives can account for the facts. They were men who wrought and spake as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit. Yet, possessing this controlling purpose, they seemingly acted with entire freedom in their choice of methods, and each maintained throughout his own characteristics.

Book Synopsis Prophets and Prophecy by : William Henry Green

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophets and Prophecy: A Compilation From Notes of the Lectures Before the Senior Class What is meant by the term "prophet" in the O. T.? True definition: An authoritative and infallible expounder of the will of God. The books of the prophets form an important part of the O. T. writings. This importance is shown in four particulars: 1. In their authority. - They contain a divine revelation of God's will, and dealings with Israel through over four hundred years, which will is still binding, in its essence, on us to-day. 2. In their historical value. - They show to us the religion and theology of the theocracy in its doctrinal aspect, in its most advanced stages. 3. In their Messianic value. - They contain the fullest and clearest disclosures B. C. concerning the coming Redeemer, his work among men, and his ignominious death upon the cross. They give the criteria for his recognition, holding him up before the world as an object of faith and hope. 4. In their apologetic value. - They contain the most astonishing exhibitions of supernatural foresight in numerous predictions, and furnish us with a powerful argument for the truth and divinity of our religion. In these four points the prophecies are most important. For the study and appreciation of the character of the prophets, we must first see what is meant by the term prophet. 1. Deuteronomy 18: 18. 19. The true idea of an O. T. prophet may be learned first and most explicitly from the formal definition given in Deut. 18: 18, 19: "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him." This passage is applied by Peter in Acts 3: 22, 23, to Christ, and is supposed by some to refer to Christ alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the Prophets: Before the Exile The company of inspired men, commonly known as the prophets of Israel, were the unique product of the Jewish religious genius. They were pre - eminently preachers of righteousness. Fearless and undaunted, they told the house of Israel their sins and the house of Jacob their transgressions. They contemplated the facts of life from the highest point of view. For them religion and morality were blended, ethics and politics were one. Theirs was peculiarly a social mes sage; the demand for justice underlies all their thinking and speaking. They had a veritable passion for righteousness; through all the ages their words have been torches lighting the way of men struggling upward towards the truth.

Download or read book The Prophets written by Norman Podhoretz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical reinterpretation of the biblical prophets by one of America's most provocative critics reveals the eternal beauty of their language and the enduring resonance of their message. Long before Norman Podhoretz became one of the intellectual leaders of American neoconservatism, he was a student of Hebrew literature and a passionate reader of the prophets of the Old Testament. Returning to them after fifty years, he has produced something remarkable: an entirely new perspective on some of the world's best-known works. Or, rather, three new perspectives. The first is a fascinating account of the golden age of biblical prophecy, from the eighth to the fifth century B.C.E., and its roots in earlier ages of the ancient Israelite saga. Thus, like large parts of the Bible itself, The Prophets is a history of the Near East from the point of view of a single nation, covering not only what is known about the prophets themselves -- including Elijah, Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel -- but also the stories of King David, King Saul, and how the ancient Israelites were affected by the great Near Eastern empires that surrounded them. Layered into this work of history is a piece of extraordinary literary criticism. Podhoretz's very close reading of the verse and imagery used by the biblical prophets restores them to the top reaches of the poetic pantheon, for these books contain, unequivocally, some of the greatest poetry ever written. The historical chronicle and the literary criticism will transport readers to a time that is both exotic and familiar and, like any fine work of history or literature, will evoke a distinct and original world. But the third perspective of The Prophets is that of moral philosophy, and it serves to bring the prophets' message into the twenty-first century. For to Norman Podhoretz, the real relevance of the prophets today is more than the excitement of their history or the beauty of their poetry: it is their message. Podhoretz sees, in the words of the biblical prophets, a war being waged, a war against the sin of revering anything made by the hands of man -- in short, idolatry. In their relentless battle against idolatry, Podhoretz finds the prophets' most meaningful and enduring message: a stern warning against the all-consuming worship of self that is at least as relevant in the twenty-first century as it was three thousand years ago. The Prophets will earn the respect of biblical scholars and the fascinated attention of general readers; its observations will be equally valued by believers and nonbelievers, by anyone with spiritual yearnings. Learned, provocative, and beautifully written, The Prophets is a deeply felt, deeply satisfying work that is at once history, literary criticism, and moral philosophy -- a tour de force.
