Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short Introduction to the Literature of the Bible
It may, however, be desired by some to use a work of this kind as an assistance in their studies. What help I have offered in this way has been reserved for an appendix. It is a sound pr1nc1ple that the sustained attention necessary for literary reading and appreciation should be kept distinct from the attitude of examination and reference which is implied in every kind of study. Possibly those who merely turn over the pages of this appendix may think the reading lists over-elaborate and detailed. I would point out that this is so only in appearance; and the reason is that the numbering of chapters and verses in ordinary Bibles in no way agrees with the actual structure which necessitates a re-index ing of the divisions proper for literary study. One who uses an edition in which the proper structure is pre sented to the eye will hardly need the help of reading lists. In a second appendix I have endeavoured to meet the requests I am accustomed to receive for advice as to progressive study in biblical literature.

A Short Introduction to the Literature of the Bible (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a unique approach to the study of the Bible by distinguishing it from other interpretive methodologies and literary study, a perspective often neglected or misunderstood. Theology and history present problematic biases and assumptions, particularly when seeking to understand passages that are clearly literary or poetic in form, yet foundational to the sacred text. The author offers literary study as an essential approach that provides new insights and reveals nuances missed by other means. Through textual examples from the Bible, the author shows that literary study unlocks the richness of the biblical narrative, enhances understanding of its historical and religious significance, and reveals the remarkable artistry of the original language and form. The book offers a fresh perspective for scholars and enthusiasts alike, leading to a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Bible's literary beauty and the depth of its spiritual insights. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330456552_0
