Excerpt from The Problem of Suffering in the Old Testament
When I accepted the invitation to deliver the Hartley Lecture, I selected The Problem of Suffering in the Old Testament as my subject, for reasons that will be plain to all who read the last chapter of this book. I am only one of many, for whom the problem of pain constitutes the most powerful objection to a Theism, adequate to our deepest needs. I am well aware that to some I shall seem to drug my doubt with the anodyne of the Gospel. Yet I shall be more than content if by my witness-bearing I help some souls, to whom the worlds misery is a nightmare, to escape beyond it into untroubled peace.
I am only too conscious how far the book is from what I had wished to make it. A serious operation, in November, 1902, has dislocated all my work, and the addition of new claims and duties to an already crowded life has made some of my plans impracticable. I had intended to give a full summary of the discussions in Germany and elsewhere, that for the last thirteen years have raged about the figure of the Servant of Yahweh; to compile a critical bibliography; to complete my commentary on Job; to deal much more thoroughly with the subjects treated in the last chapter. But half the book had to be written in a month, with College and Review work, Committees and Meetings, absorbing most of my time and strength.

The Problem of Suffering in the Old Testament (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This captivating exploration of suffering in the Old Testament sheds light on the ancient Hebrew perspective on human pain and misery. The author examines how the problem of suffering plagued the Israelites, who believed that their misfortunes were a sign of God's anger, leading to a belief in divine retribution for sins. The book challenges this view through the lens of individual responsibility, asserting that each person's fate was determined by their own actions rather than the sins of their ancestors. This revolutionary concept liberated individuals from the guilt of past generations and shifted the focus towards personal accountability and ethical living. Ultimately, the book offers profound insights into the nature of suffering, illuminating its role in shaping human consciousness and driving religious thought in the ancient world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331750895_0
