Book Synopsis The Bible as English Literature (Classic Reprint) by : J. H. Gardiner
Download or read book The Bible as English Literature (Classic Reprint) written by J. H. Gardiner and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible as English Literature This book springs from a course of study which I have offered for several years at Harvard University in the Department of English. In this course my object has been to make students as familiar as possible with the English Bible, and to throw light on its literary forms by bringing together facts from the history of its sources and from the history of the translation into English. For the latter purpose I have drawn freely on the larger results of the great school of learning which is commonly known as the Higher Criticism. This is in itself, as has often been pointed out, merely a critical study of the various books of both Old and New Testaments from the historical point of view; it arrives at its results by a faithful comparison of the various parts with each other, and by bringing to bear on them all pertinent facts from the monuments and other external sources of history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible in English Literature The subject is not casual - it is nothing incidental, nor even wholly explicit. It is implicit in the pro foundest sense - it is close to the beating of the heart, and the flowing of the blood. For we believe that English-speaking people possess the Bible in this way, not merely in outward ways and customs, but in the blood. The author can only hope that he has suc ceeded to some extent in making this clear as respects English literature.

Download or read book The English Bible (Classic Reprint) written by James Stacy Stevens and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Bible It is the Opinion of those especially interested in the study of the English Bible that there is at present something of an awakened interest in the subject. In some of our colleges credit is given for systematic work done in the Sunday school. In many institutions courses are given in biblical literature where the sub ject is presented in its historical development. There are a number of textbooks which cover this ground in a satisfactory manner. This book recognizes at the outset the existing condition that the great majority of our young people are lacking in a proper knowledge of the Bible itself. About half of the work, therefore, is devoted to a direct study of the narratives in order to supply a foundation for the literary study with Which the other half is concerned. It is, hoped that it may be useful to students in schools, colleges, and Sunday schools; and to divinity students who may need to extend their knowledge of the Bible in this direction.

Impressive words! reminding the student who may chance to read them that in literature the world has a heritage with which no other of its possessions can compare in value, for by words, more than by any other form of expression, the mind and heart are revealed and the intellectual and spiritual treasure of the race preserved.

One result of this method, it is hoped, will be that the reader will have nothing whatever to unlearn in the way of inaccurate de scription of and incorrect quotation from early editions. In a subject involving so many minute details it is, perhaps, too much to hope that errors have been avoided. Any inaccuracy brought under the writer's notice by any reader who has first consulted some standard Copy of the edition referred to in the text, will be gratefully corrected in future editions. Many of the words in the extracts from the early editions have been modernised in spelling in order to render them more intelligible to the reader unfamiliar with the forms and peculiarities commonly met with in fifteenth and Sixteenth century English books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible as Literature This book is an attempt to present the results of modern criticism of the Bible in condensed and simplified form adapted for the use of the older pupils in our Sunday Schools. To confine the consideration of all the books of the Bible within so narrow a Space has been an exacting task. The writer has been forced to omit valuable material, and even what has been dealt with gives in outline merely the more significant facts and theories. For this reason some dogmatism colors the treatment of the Biblical books, which must not be taken as a mark of final conclusions, for many questions are still Open. The judgments here offered regarding doubtful matters are reasonable and moderate and are founded upon the agree ment of scholarly experts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psalter of the Great Bible of 1539: A Landmark in English Literature The Greek is pre-eminent as having been the first in date; and with this fact is connected its high dis tinction as an external independent witness of the state of the Hebrew text before Christianity. Down to the sixteenth century, this translation had almost the honours of an original. The Latin is pre-eminent as being the first version that was made in the atmosphere and light of the Christian faith. It was translated from the Greek alone, and it has no immediate contact with the Hebrew. Distant though it is from the original by a second remove, mechanical as it seems when verbally scanned, it has nevertheless within it a spring of emotion which is original in itself, radiating the warmth of primitive Christianity.

Download or read book The English Bible and the English Language (Classic Reprint) written by Theodore Whitefield Hunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Bible and the English Language The two greatest treasures in the possession of any Christian nation are the Bible in the vernacular and the vernacular itself. Though it is true, as Archbishop Trench has stated, * that a language is more and mightier in every way than any one of the works composed in it, this advantage in favor of the lan guage is reduced to a minimum if not indeed rendered doubtful, when we come to compare it with its expresssion in the Holy Scriptures. Of no nation of modern times is this assertion truer than of English-speaking peoples. Germany excepted, there is no civilized country where the Bible and the language alike have done more for the best interests of the population, and more in which the mutual relations of these two great educational and moral agencies have been closer and more marked. Among the English, as elsewhere, no sooner did Christianity enter and obtain a foothold than the necessity was felt of having the Word of God translated into the home speech. It was so in the days of Ulfilas, Bishop of the Goths. As soon as his countrymen along the Black Sea became con verts to Christianity, in the early part of the fourth century, it was their earnest desire to possess the Bible in their own tongue. To this work the learned and holy bishop was compe tent and inclined. About 360, A. D., he completed the trans lation of the New Testament from the original Greek and a portion of the Old Testament from the Septuagint version into the moeso-gothic. It was in a true sense about the first written example of a Germanic language. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
