Sinopsis
Excerpt from Israel's Hope of Immortality: Four Lectures
One last caution remains. Those who believe that in the Old Testament we have the record of a revelation, partial and fragmentary indeed, but divinely inspired and leading up to the mani testation of our Lord in the fullness of time, will realize that in many cases the statements of Old Testament writers and the ideas which they embody are susceptible of a deeper significance when read in the fuller light of New Testament revelation. Thus, for example, our Lord Himself teaches that the words of revelation to Moses at Horeb, I am the God of thy F ather, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,' contain implicitly the doctrine of a life beyond the grave, since God is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living We are not, however, at present concerned with this fuller significance which may be read into the Old Testa ment Scriptures. What we have to determine is the character of certain conceptions at the time at which they were enunciated, and the impression which they produced upon those who heard and debated, accepted or rejected them.

Israel's Hope of Immortality: Four Lectures (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book traces how beliefs in an afterlife evolved within the religion of Israel. It starts by highlighting the absence of life-after-death concepts in earlier Israelite religion. As the author explains, this is because Yahwe, the national deity, was seen as a protector for the nation as a whole, not for individuals. However, following the rise of the doctrine of monotheism in the eighth century BC, Yahwe's authority was expanded to include all the earth. This led to the idea that Sheol, the realm of the dead, now came under his jurisdiction. Additionally, the rise of religious individualism in the late seventh century BC emphasized the moral responsibility of individuals, suggesting that righteousness and wickedness would be rewarded and punished accordingly. This led to questions about why the righteous sometimes suffered, and the wicked prospered, which became a key concern in psalms written after the fall of the Judean monarchy. By examining these and other Old Testament scriptures, this volume illuminates the progression of beliefs about life after death in ancient Israel. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330267646_0
