Description
Excerpt from The Priestly Element in the Old Testament: An Aid to Historical Study; For Use in Advanced Bible Classes
This treatment of the Priestly Element in the Old Testament is intended to serve as a guide for students who wish to take up the questions relating to the subject from an historical point of view. The materials for a preliminary study of the various topics are gathered together, and arranged with suggestions as to order and method of procedure.
It is thought that the work proposed is within the reach of the more mature pupils in the Sunday school, although the needs of college and theological students have been kept especially in mind.
The general results of modern historical criticism have been taken as a basis for the work, since it is only from the point of view of his tory that these subjects may now be considered intelligently. Each special topic connected with the general subject of the Priestly Ele ment furnishes a beautiful illustration of the growth and development of Israelitish and Jewish thought under the controlling in?uence of a conception of God which became more and more pure with the advancing centuries.
