Sinopsis
Excerpt from Commentary on the Book of Job
I will praise the lord Of Wisdom. Like our book Of Job, it belonged, therefore, to a wisdom literature. It is clearly a copy of a story older than the time of Assurbanipal, for part of an Older list of kings also found in his library constitutes a commentary upon a part of it.
According to this story, a high Official or king, Of the Babylonian city of Nippur, named tabi-utul-bel (a man whose date and place in history are as yet unknown to us), had been very god-fearing and prosperous, but was smitten, as though he had been a Wicked man, with a terrible disease, which all the priests and magicians were unable to assuage. This disaster occurred after he had passed the allotted time of life. The poem describes the sufferings very vividly. Tabi - utul-bel says.

Excerpt from Commentary on the Book of Job
The Bible for Home and School is intended to place the results of the best modern biblical scholarship at the disposal of the general reader. It does not seek to duplicate other commentaries to which the student must turn. Its chief characteristics are (a) its rigid exclusion of all processes, both critical and exegetical, from its notes; (b) its presupposition and its use of the assured results of historical investigation and criticism wherever such results throw light on the biblical text; (c) its running analysis both in text and comment; (d) its brief explanatory notes adapted to the rapid reader; (e) its thorough but brief Introductions; (f) its use of the Revised Version of 1881, supplemented with all important renderings in other versions.
Biblical science has progressed rapidly during the past few years, but the reader still lacks a brief, comprehensive commentary that shall extend to him in usable form material now at the disposition of the student. It is hoped that in this series the needs of intelligent Sunday School teachers have been met, as well as those of clergymen and lay readers, and that in scope, purpose, and loyalty to the Scriptures as a foundation of Christian thought and life, its volumes will stimulate the intelligent use of the Bible in the home and the school.

Commentary on the Book of Job (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a guide to one of the most influential books from antiquity, the primary author of which is meticulously identified. It places the themes within their historical context and explores the rich tapestry of meaning that has captivated readers for centuries. The Bible for Home and School carefully considers differing viewpoints, including those of the first-century Jewish philosopher Philo and the second-century church father Origen, to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Job narrative. Each chapter includes an overview of the content and a focus on interpretation, supported by historical reference. This thoughtful examination of the book of Job concludes that the narrative is a spiritual allegory demonstrating that material loss doesn't equate to God's disfavor and that one's faith alone determines their true relationship with the divine. 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: 9781331065005_0
