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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible as Literature: An Introduction For some time past there has been a growing conviction of the need of a more complete and comprehensive study of the Bible in all the colleges. Quite recently the matter has received new emphasis and practical direction. A complete course of Bible study has been outlined by a joint committee representing the Eastern and Western sections of the Association of College Instructors in the Bible, the departments of colleges and universities and of teacher training of the Religious Education Association, the Student Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., and Sunday School Council. The proposed curriculum is not merely a theoretical outline but has already been tested, in part, at some of the leading colleges of the country. The complete course will include the following books: "Old Testament History," by Prof. Ismar J. Peritz, of Syracuse University; "New Testament History," by Dr. Harris Franklin Rail, President of Iliff School of Theology; "The Bible as Literature," by Prof. Irving F. Wood and Prof. Elihu Grant, of Smith College; "Social Institutions and Ideals of the Bible," by Prof. Theodore G. Soares, University of Chicago; and "The History, Principles and Methods of Religious Education," by Prof. F. H. Swift, University of Minnesota. The publishers take pleasure in announcing that the volumes on New Testament History and The Bible as Literature are now ready. Professor Peritz's volume on Old Testament History will be published in time for use during the second half of the college year 1914-1915, and the remaining volumes by Professors Soares and Swift in time for the opening of the 1915-1916 college year. These books have been prepared with a view to the requirements of the college course and the needs of the student.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Character of the Bible: A Lecture Delivered Before the Wilmington Institute at Wilmington, Delaware, January 8th, 1857 Hence, to form even a proximate idea of the true liter ary value of the sacred writings, we are compelled to adopt some such process as that by which we determine the dis tance and magnitude of those bodies too far above us to be directly estimated, as the stars by their parallax. And in attempting, briefly, to carry out this design, let us eschew the method ordinarily adopted in critical essays on the Bible, and instead of dividing the books of which it consists into Historical, Prophetical, and Poetical, let us rather re gard it as one beautiful whole, composed of the three grand elements of all literature - History, Philosophy, and Poetry; for we find the facts of History, the truths of Philosophy, and the gems of Poesy, blended together on every page of the great volume, from the first startling announcement in Genesis, to the last words of John's sublime vision on the isle of Patmos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book About the English Bible Tms volume is simply what its title indicates, A Book about the English Bible. It has grown out of a series of lectures delivered to students in the University of Pennsylvania, the purpose of which was to give a brief account of the English Bible, its immediate sources and their contents, their literary background and surroundings, the forms and characteristics of the constituent books and their relation to each other. To the chapters, in which these subjects are suggested, rather than discussed, have been added several others containing a short history of the translation of the Bible into English, from Saxon times to our own day. Attention is called to the differences between the commonly used English versions as regards contents and translation, and to the reasons for the differences.
