Inhaltsangabe

This book offers a rare glimpse into the world of early Christianity through a collection of ancient psalms, providing valuable insights into the origins and development of Christian beliefs. Discovered in a Syriac manuscript, these psalms are attributed to King Solomon, though authorship is uncertain. Scholars believe they date back to the first century AD, making them a remarkable window into the spiritual lives of early Christians. Exploring themes of love, faith, salvation, and the nature of Christ, the poems resonate with universal Christian language and are compelling both for their devotional interest and their historical importance. The book transcends the concerns of scholars, appealing to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual foundations of Christianity. These psalms offer a timeless exploration of the human relationship with the divine, inviting readers to engage with the eternal truths that have shaped Christian thought throughout the ages.

Excerpt from An Early Christian Psalter

The little book from which the following extracts have been made was announced as forthcoming in the Contemporary Review for last April, when a brief account was given of its recovery, and some indication of its importance, both for the spiritual interpretation of Christianity and for the right understanding of the early Christian history and doctrine. Since then it has been published in a complete form, in the ancient Syriac version from which it was recovered, and with such annotations as are desired by scholars. It has, however, seemed to me that the book transcends in importance the field of attention of the scholar, and appeals, in its devotional interest, to the 'even Christian' of whom Shakespeare speaks - the man or woman in the street' of the spiritual city, the people who know how to sing, better than they understand how to translate an Eastern language or comment upon an ancient book.
