Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on "the Babylonian Period in Hebrew History" (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Syllabus of a Course of Lectures on "the Babylonian Period in Hebrew History" Manaeseh came to the throne in 696. He seemed to have inherited the compromising spirit of Ahaz. Politically it seemed wise to conciliate Assyria. Jehovah, as taught by the prophetic party, was discredited and reaction was in the air. The masses turned back madly to the half-heathenish deity they had wor shipped and sought to conciliate him by the multiplicity of their sacrifices, while the introduction of the gods of the nations, which could not be offensive to him, might secure advantage to the land. The completeness of the reaction is indicated (l)'1n the description of it in 2 Kings xxi., and (2) 1n the description of the reforms that followed in 2 Kings xxiii. Prophetic opposition was not tolerated. The martyrs were a multitude, and trad1t10n places Isaiah himself amongst them.

Introduction to the Hebrew Bible


Book Description

John J. Collins’ Introduction to the Hebrew Bible is one of the most reliable and widely adopted critical textbooks at undergraduate and graduate levels alike, and for good reason. Enriched by decades of classroom teaching, it is aimed explicitly at motivated students regardless of their previous exposure to the Bible or faith commitments. Collins proceeds through the canon of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, judiciously presenting the current state of historical, archaeological, and literary understanding of the biblical text, and engaging the student in questions of significance and interpretation for the contemporary world. The second edition has been revised where more recent scholarship indicates it, and is now presented in a refreshing new format.
