The Book of Jubilees: Translated From the Ethiopic (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Book of Jubilees: Translated From the EthiopicOne of the most marked features of theological research in our day and decade is the intense interest which char acterizes the work in biblical theology, technically so called, and in this department no auxiliary branch has been more productive of good results than has been that discipline called History of New Testament Times, or the study of the times of Christ as to their religious, moral, and social features. The aim of such study is to repro duce, as far as possible, the exact picture of Christ's earthly career in the midst of all the agencies which influ enced him and upon which he exerted his inﬂuence; in other words, to understand Christ's words and works with their true historical background and surroundings. It is a line of investigation that has produced, indirectly, such masterpieces as Weber's System der altsynagoga/m palr'z's tz'zzz'sckm Theologz'e (leipzig, and, directly, such as Edersheim's Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, as also the two Neu T csz'ammtlz'c/ze of Schiirer and Hausrath, as well as many other works, smaller in dimen sions and more closely circumscribed in scope, while the spirit and method of this research is felt in every fibre of the leading exegetical and historical works on biblical subjects. The object of all this study is to produce an accurate and truly historical picture of Christ and Chris tianity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Book of Enoch: Translated From the Ethiopic, With Introduction and NotesThis will suffice as an apology for a new translation of Enoch. In the translation the object has been to render as literally as possible, even if thereby the English should become a little harsh. Of course the notes do not pre tend to unravel all the mysteries in this most mysterious of books; but it is hoped they will be of some assistance in understanding these intricacies. Naturally, these and the Introduction are, in part, a compilation; but the thoughts of others have been used with judgment and discrimination, and the sources are indicated. In all questions the writer has been independent, as will be seen by the fact that he has frequently departed from beaten paths.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
