Inhaltsangabe

Understanding The Scriptures by Francis McConnell is a comprehensive guide to the Bible that provides readers with a clear and concise understanding of its teachings. The book is divided into three main sections: the Old Testament, the New Testament, and a final section that covers the history of the Bible and its interpretation.Each section begins with an overview of the historical and cultural context in which the books were written, followed by a detailed analysis of each individual book. The author provides commentary on key themes, characters, and events, as well as an explanation of the literary style and structure of each book.In addition to its focus on the text itself, Understanding The Scriptures also delves into the history of biblical interpretation, exploring the various ways in which the Bible has been read and understood throughout history. The author discusses the role of tradition, reason, and experience in biblical interpretation, and provides readers with a framework for developing their own approach to understanding the Bible.Overall, Understanding The Scriptures is an accessible and engaging guide to the Bible that is suitable for both beginners and more experienced readers. It provides a wealth of information and insights into the text, as well as a thoughtful reflection on the history and nature of biblical interpretation.There is much obscurity about the beginnings of the laws of the Hebrews. One characteristic of those laws, however, is evident from a very early date--the regard for human life as such and the aim to make human existence increasingly worth while. It is a common quality of primitive religions that they are apt to lay stress on merely ceremonial cleansings, for example. The ceremony is gone through for the sake of pleasing a deity.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.

Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.
