Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible as Literature I have been requested to say a few words as preface to this little book, written by my nephew, on the Bible as literature. The title is a wide one but I think the writer is well advised in confining himself to the side of literary treatment most urgently required in the case of sacred literature, and explain ing, with as much clearness as the brief limits permit, the chief forms of literature contained in the Bible and Apocrypha.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible as Literature: An Introduction This book is designed to be an Introduction to the Litera ture of the Bible, and is primarily intended for use in college Classes. This fixes at once certain limitations. It excludes the technical terms and the discussion Of detailed points Of criticism which properly appear in the many biblical introductions written for the use of those with more training. It is an introduction to the biblical literature rather than to biblical history or theology. It attempts to give such information as will make it possible for the student to enter upon our literary heritage in the Bible. That the Bible is literature is no longer a novel idea, as it was to many a short generation ago, but how to learn to appreciate its literary qualities is not always Clear even to some Of its most devoted readers. Our rightful emphasis on its religious value has obscured its literary Character. Bible study in the college classroom will serve to place the Bible in its proper position as a body of literature. When we learn to appreciate the Bible as literature we are better able to discover its true religious value.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bible Literature; An Introductory View of the Bible and Its Books: For the General Reader, and Sixth Grade d104-Book for Schools and Colleges In order to understand the Bible as a whole, and as its writers intended it to be read, long before the various books were separated into - chapters and verses, it is necessary to have some clear knowledge of each one of the books of the Old and the New Testament. This concise introduction to the Bible presents such a knowledge, both of the purpose of the inner contents as a whole, and also of the outer nature and form of the book in question.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Introduction to the Literature of the Bible I wish to explain that this volume is not an abridgement of my other work on The Literary Study of the Bible. There is necessarily much in common between two treatments of the same topic: but the purposes of the two are distinct. The larger work is intended for formal students; it is an illustration of literary morphology in the field of sacred Scripture. The present book is addressed to the general reader, whether more or less cultured; it avoids technicalities, and treats the matter of the Bible, approaching this from the literary side. In what sense I understand the word 'literary' - as distinguished from theological and critical - I have sufficiently explained in the opening section. Many things have convinced me that we are entering upon a new era of popular interest in the sacred Scriptures. My duties as a lecturer have brought me in contact with many different types of audiences in different parts of England and America. No single thing has impressed me more than the commonness of the remark - coming usually from persons who were neither uneducated nor irreligious - that the Bible (except for a few passages) had long been a sealed book to them, but that they were taking to it again. We have done almost everything that is possible with these Hebrew and Greek writings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guidebook to the Biblical Literature Controversies warrantable enough, perhaps, to myopic human nature, but generally reducible; for all their solemn sincerity, to some phase of smallness or one-sidedness. Yet, even so, they are1not to be scorned; there are shreds of truth at the bottom of them; but neither are they to be emulated. The truth that is in them may be found, I am sure, in some more tolerant way, some way more consistent with comity of spirit and aim. But to find it one must ascend must reach some point above, where the tangled lines meet and unite. The Biblical literature, after all, does make for plain ness, simplicity, unity; it requires only that one shall hnd the master-key and consistently use it. This is why, as inti mated above, I desiderate a fair and free point of view. Fair, I mean, to all sides, all moods, all constituent factors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Characteristics and Achievements of the Bible It is not without considerable hesitation that I present this volume to the public. The subject, in detached parts, has been treated by far abler pens; but, so far as I am aware, the attempt has not been made, in any single volume at least, to exhibit the subject with the same comprehensiveness and system. Where I had the labours of preceding writers to direct and aid me, I felt less hesitation; where I had not these guides, the importance of the subject not unfrequently caused me to doubt my own ability to handle it, so as while gaining the ear of those who are of literary taste and culture, there should be nothing to offend the sensibilities of a pure and simple piety. I had an abiding conviction that a free exhibition of the literature of the Bible is calculated to strengthen our belief in its divine inspiration; but, on the other hand, it needed caution, while freely exhibiting its literary characteristics, not to present the Bible as merely a literary production.
