The Poems and Psalms of the Hebrew Bible (Paperback): S.E. Gillingham The Poems and Psalms of the Hebrew Bible (Paperback)
S.E. Gillingham

  • Considers the essential elements of Hebrew verse
  • Introduces the reader to the full range of the poetry of the Old Testament, both outside the Psalter and within
  • Fully accessible to non-specialists
  • A select bibliography following each chapter offers suggestions for further study Because of the command not to make `graven images' the creativity of the ancient Jews was always somewhat contrained: instead of the visual arts, poetry and story became the two most important forms which depicted the relationship between God and his people. The most familiar poems in the Bible are the psalms of the Psalter, the love songs of the Song of Solomon, and the aphorisms of Proverbs. But there are also many other examples of Hebrew verse, less familiar because of being buried in narrative context. These include war poetry, vintage songs, funeral elegies, blessings, prayers, and hymns. Such poetry has a setting-in-life as well as a setting-in-literature, and needs to be read at both levels in order to appreciate its impact as a work of art. By considering the essential elements of Hebrew verse, this book introduces the reader to the full range of the poetry of the Old Testament, both outside the Psalter and within it. It is aimed at Old Testament students but is fully accessible to non-specialists as well. No knowledge of Hebrew is presumed, and a select bibliography following each chapter offers suggestions for further study.

    Dr. Billy Graham says in the "Words of Wisdom" foreword, "The Psalms tell us how to get along with God, and the Proverbs tell us how to get along with our fellow man." As has long been Dr. Graham's personal practice, "Words of Wisdom" makes it easy for anyone to read five Psalms and a chapter from Proverbs each day for 31 days. This beautiful LeatherLike gift edition offers a convenient, easy-to-understand, and enjoyable way to discover how these ancient words deliver valuable life principles. King David wrote many of the Psalms, often with the passion of a worshiper and the anxiety of a 21st-century person, while dealing with everyday tensions. His son Solomon, largely known for his wisdom, wrote the wisdom literature of the Proverbs. In these nearly 3,000-year-old sacred writings, we hear the voices and counsel of those who knew God intimately. Let "Words of Wisdom" encourage you with divine hope and affirmation for living the life God has planned for you.

    Prayer for the Day brings together 365 selected readings from the much loved, long-running series on BBC Radio 4. The programme, which has been broadcast daily at 5:43am for several decades, and continues to attract over half a million dedicated listeners, comprises a short 2-minute reflection to start your day. These artfully combine traditional forms of prayer and reflection, from a variety of religions and denominations, with contemporary issues and themes that are often relevant to the date on which the programme is broadcast. In keeping with the theme of 'Prayer for the Day', there are 365 reflections in the book, from a vast range of the eminent religious figures and broadcasters who have contributed to the programme over the years. There is a foreword by a prominent figure in the faith community, a short profile of each contributor and an index of contributors. To emphasise the point that the reflections can be used daily, they are ordered by date (i.e. 1st January, 2nd January etc), and each entry is selected on the basis of it being as date-specific as possible. The date of broadcast is underneath each entry, and dates are also marked at the top corners of each page so they can be found easily. The spacious design includes page openers for each month with simple line illustrations. Prayer for the Day is a beautiful and inspirational addition to any bedside table, with religious meditations that both participate in the ecumenical spirit of the 21st century and equip you perfectly for each day's journey.

    Most people have lost a sense of destiny, God's will for their lives. Many even believe you just can't know God's will - that in His sovereignty, He will make it happen regardless of what you do. Too long this viewpoint has kept Christians from knowing the full potential He planned for them. But no more. God created you with a specific purpose, and the good new is, He wants you to find it.

    Just knowing God's will, however, isn't enough. You need to understand the part you play if you're going to follow it. You might be surprised to learn it involves following the desires of your heart. But before you set off, make sure you're able to distinguish His will from your own selfish desires.

    One of the most important lessons of all is that you can't fulfill God's will any way you want. His strength and timing, and your obedience and patience are just a few of the things it takes. This book explains all this and much more.

    Samuel Rutherford was a 17th Century Scottish Presbyterian preacher whose writings have had a profound impact on Christians throughout the generations. He was one of the Scottish Commissioners to the Westminster Assembly, and his best-known work, Lex, Rex, had far reaching influence. This collection of quotes, collated by editor Malcolm MacLean, give an idea of the power his words had. Although no more than a sentence or two, each of these quotes has a profundity which leaves the reader thinking long after they have closed the book. The quotations are split into topics: Jesus and the Gospel Jesus - His Person and Work Communion with Jesus God Christian Living Christian Service Thinking of Heaven Eternity and Time For those who have never read Samuel Rutherford's works before, this is a delectable introduction, encouraging you to seek out his full works. For those who need no introduction to his writings, these quotes are a quick reminder of the great truths he strived to preach and the great God he strived to proclaim.
