The Origin And Permanent Value Of The Old Testament

The Origin And Permanent Value Of The Old Testament by Charles Foster Kent is a comprehensive study of the Old Testament, exploring its origins, history, and enduring significance. Kent delves into the historical and cultural context in which the Old Testament was written, examining the beliefs and practices of the ancient Israelites and the various literary genres that make up the Old Testament. He also considers the role of the Old Testament in shaping religious and cultural traditions throughout history, from the early Christian church to contemporary society. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the origins and enduring relevance of one of the world's most influential religious texts.Their position as well as the themes which they treat suggest that the Gospels were the first to be written. It is, however, a self-evident fact that a book was not written--at least not in antiquity, when the making of books was both laborious and expensive--unless a real need for it was felt. If we go back, and live for a moment in imagination among the band of followers which Jesus left behind at his death, we see clearly that while the early Christian Church was limited to Palestine, and a large company of disciples, who had often themselves seen and heard the Christ, lived to tell by word of mouth the story of his life and teachings, no one desired a written record.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
