Exodus; a Commentary
Author: Martin Noth
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Exodus is seen in its relation to the preceding Genesis and to the succeeding three books of the Pentateuch. Unlike Genesis, which dealt with individuals, Exodus is primarily concerned with Israel collectively and with the basic elements of Israel's faith. The author shows that the central motifs are the flight from Egypt, especially the crossing of "the sea", and the theophany and covenant at Sinai. The exegesis deals with the narrative as it appears in its final form but, in order to clarify the story, the author makes constant references to the successive stages in its literary development, and throughout the commentary he distinguishes the literary strands -- notably those know as J, E, and P -- that are woven into the fabric of the book.

The Secret of Progress (Classic Reprint)
Author: W. Cunningham
Publisher: CUP Archive

Category : Religion

Pages : 200
Book Description
Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Was Christ Born At Bethlehem?
Author: Sir William Mitchell Ramsay
Publisher: Primedia E-launch LLC
ISBN: 1622090624
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
About this edition:-over 100 fully linked footnotes-original Greek language support-fully linked table of contents-formatted especially for ebook format The issue of the dating and placing of Christ's birth within history has been an ongoing topic of debate for 2000 years. In the late 1800s William Ramsay, a liberal scholar, began his research into biblical history in an attempt to disprove the historicity of the main historical claims of the New Testament. Over time his meticulous research led him to conclude that the circumstances surrounding Christ were indeed historical events. In Was Christ Born In Bethlehem? Ramsay examines all of the biblical and extra biblical evidence for Bethlehem as Christ's birthplace and presents a very compelling argument for the time and place of Christ's birth as set out in Luke. Scholars, pastors, students and laypeople would all benefit greatly by this classic text.
