This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legends of Babylon and Egypt, in Relation to Hebrew Tradition In these lectures an attempt is made, not so much to restate familiar facts, as to accommodate them to new and supplementary evidence which has been published in America since the outbreak of the war. But even without the excuse of recent discovery, no apology would be needed for any comparison or contrast of Hebrew tradition with the mythological and legendary beliefs of Babylon and Egypt. Hebrew achievements in the sphere of religion and ethics are only thrown into stronger relief when studied against their contemporary background. The bulk of our new material is furnished by some early texts, written towards the close of the third millennium B.c. They incorporate traditions which extend in unbroken outline from their own period into the remote ages of the past, and claim to trace the history of man back to his creation. They represent the early national traditions of the Sumerian people, who preceded the Semites as the ruling race in Babylonia; and incidentally they necessitate a revision of current views with regard to the cradle of Babylonian civilization. The most remarkable of the new documents is one which relates in poetical narrative an account of the Creation, of Antediluvian history, and of the Deluge. It thus exhibits a close resemblance in structure to the corresponding Hebrew traditions, a resemblance that is not shared by the Semitic-Babylonian Versions at present known. But in matter the Sumerian tradition is more primitive than any of the Semitic versions. In spite of the fact that the text appears to have reached us in a magical setting, and to some extent in epitomized form, this early document enables us to tap the stream of tradition at a point far above any at which approach has hitherto been possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hebrew and Babylonian Traditions: The Haskell Lectures, Delivered at Oberlin College in 1913 Accepting the ascertained results of modern re search, the question, then, with which we are con fronted is to account for the tremendous influence exerted by Hebrew traditions in the form finally given to them, and to explain why the religious thought and practices of the Hebrews became, with the heritage of Greek and Roman culture, the foun dation structure on which the superstructure of modern civilisation has been erected. That fact is as undeniable as are the postulates of biblical crit icism and of archaeological investigations.

C. The canon of the law and of the prophets was practically closed. For the New Testament scholar these centuries possess equally great attractions, since in them the life gradually developed, and the parties arose and the ideas gained acceptance, which furnish the setting and the atmosphere of the New Testament history and teaching. To the student of Christianity they are of the greatest interest, for then many of the religious rites and usages developed, which, adopted with but slight modifications, have become the institutions of the Christian Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many books of the Hebrew Bible were either composed in some form or edited during the Exilic and post-Exilic periods among a community that was to identify itself as returning from Babylonian captivity. At the same time, a dearth of contemporary written evidence from Judah/Yehud and its environs renders any particular understanding of the process within its social, cultural and political context virtually impossible. This has led some to label the period a dark age or black box – as obscure as it is essential for understanding the history of Judaism. In recent years, however, archaeologists and historians have stepped up their effort to look for and study material remains from the period and integrate the local history of Yehud, the return from Exile, and the restoration of Jerusalem’s temple more firmly within the regional, and indeed global, developments of the time. At the same time, Assyriologists have also been introducing a wide range of cuneiform material that illuminates the economy, literary traditions, practices of literacy and the ideologies of the Babylonian host society – factors that affected those taken into Exile in variable, changing and multiple ways. This volume of essays seeks to exploit these various advances.

This book was released on 2016-09-26 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relations Between the Laws of Babylonia and the Laws of the Hebrew Peoples Then there came, in the early days of this century, a great sur prise, calling at once for much revision of our neatly arranged systems of knowledge. A Code of Laws was discovered, certainly the oldest known, by far the most complete and best attested, and at the same time the most advanced of all but the most modern. Fragments of it were already known from late copies, had been recognized as probably parts of a Babylonian Code of Law, were even conjecturally styled the Code of Hammurabi by professor friedrich delitzsch,4 but very little could be concluded from them. Then suddenly at Susa in Elam was discovered practically the whole text of it. Ever since it has been the subject of profound study from all points of view. The comparison of this Code of Hammurabi with the Laws of Moses was bound to be made. Many reasons would suggest the like lihood that much similarity would be observed between two early legislations both Semitic in complexion. Comparisons with other ancient codes were equally sure to be made and the differences naturally to be expected would be carefully weighed and considered. But while most surprising results came out of these comparisons, especially in the realm of Roman Law, a much keener interest has attached to the comparison with Hebrew Law, not only because of the sacred nature of the Old Testament, but even more because this had been the special study of the Higher Critics. These scholars had almost decided what their view of the composition of the Pentateuch should be, what were the ultimate sources implied, what dates should be assigned to the constituent documents, and the arguments to be considered valid in such discussions. Those who rejected the Higher Critical conclusions ew at once to the new - found Code for arguments to refute Higher Criticism while Higher Critics found confirmations in many directions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on "the Babylonian Period in Hebrew History" Manaeseh came to the throne in 696. He seemed to have inherited the compromising spirit of Ahaz. Politically it seemed wise to conciliate Assyria. Jehovah, as taught by the prophetic party, was discredited and reaction was in the air. The masses turned back madly to the half-heathenish deity they had wor shipped and sought to conciliate him by the multiplicity of their sacrifices, while the introduction of the gods of the nations, which could not be offensive to him, might secure advantage to the land. The completeness of the reaction is indicated (l)'1n the description of it in 2 Kings xxi., and (2) 1n the description of the reforms that followed in 2 Kings xxiii. Prophetic opposition was not tolerated. The martyrs were a multitude, and trad1t10n places Isaiah himself amongst them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kings and Prophets of Israel and Judah: From the Division of the Kingdom to the Babylonian Exile The three centuries and a half, which began with the division of the Hebrew empire and extended to the Babylonian exile, were in many ways the most important period in Israel's history. It was during this epoch that the Israelites ceased to be a provincial people, limited in their out look to the narrow horizon of Palestine. Events over which they had little control brought them into close contact with the great world powers of the day, thereby vastly broadening their faith, as well as their vision of history and of their relation to the human race. It was a period marked by supreme political, social and religious crises, which funda mentally transformed Israel's religion and institutions. These crises called forth the great ethical prophets of the eighth and seventh centuries B.o.; and their work and teachings made Israel's experience during these trying years one of the most significant chapters in human history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Extra-Biblical Sources for Hebrew and Jewish History The period covered by the term Hebrew and Jew ish History is taken, in this book, to extend from the beginning of Old Testament history down to the final destruction of the Jewish people as a nation in the reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian. To the last part of the period pertain New Testament and Early Church history. No attempt has been made to deal with this subject. Our interest as to this period is confined to Jewish history. No serious student of Hebrew and Jewish history is willing to confine his reading to modern histories and text-books, excellent though they may be. He feels that he ought to go back of them to the original sources from which they are drawn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Veil of Hebrew History: A Further Attempt to Lift It Verily through much tribulation of critical research must we of the present age enter into the kingdom. Verily, when criticism hath had its perfect work, we shall see - as never before - how indifferent are critical results to spiritual kingship. This work, like its predecessors, consists partly of certainties, partly of pioneering conjectures. Its object is to get behind the existing tradition, and so to recover, in an earlier and much more correct traditional form, what was believed by the Israelites respecting their past, or, as one might say, to dig down to the foundations of Israelite history. If the author's preceding works (since the Encyclop dia Biblica, vol. ii.) be considered, the reader will have a tolerably complete idea of what the author regards as important, and, on the whole, trustworthy, for historical purposes.
