Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Parables of the Old Testament

The minister who chooses to preach from the Parables of the Old Testament will find that most of the stories are new and fresh to his auditors, and he himself will not fail to share in the consequent interest and alertness which such preaching awakens in a congregation. The teacher or popular speaker will find much in these Parables which may be em ployed with telling effect to illustrate morals. The Parables dealt with in this volume represent the garnered wisdom of prophets, chroniclers, and seers, some of them known and some of them nu known, but all worthy of a better acquaintance. These addresses have been delivered and this book is now sent forth in the Name of Him who taught the people in Parables, and without a Parable spake He not unto them.

Excerpt from The Parables of the Old Testament

Some years ago I commenced a study of the Parables of the Old Testament with the purpose of making use of the Parables as material for sermons. I was not disappointed as to the suggestions afforded by such a study; indeed, it opened up for me a rich vein of moral and spiritual truth. But I was surprised to find how little there was in print that would be of help to me in conducting such a study. Book stalls and libraries abound in volumes on the Parables of the New Testament, but nowhere, either in America or Great Britain, could I come on a single book which dealt with the Parables of the Old Testament. Whatever, then, the offenses of this volume, it cannot be laid against it that it traverses a field whose fruits already have been harvested and garnered. As for these Parables, I think I can feel almost like those mariners of the sixteenth century who sailed upon seas that never before had been cleft by the keel of a ship.

I have no desire to draw out fine spun distinctions between the different forms of illustrative speech. We used to define them and refine them in our college days; but as a matter of fact, the partitions which divide metaphor from simile, and allegory from parable, and parable from fable, are exceedingly thin.
