Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Is the Old Testament man-centred? Is it merely a collection of
myths that evolved out of man's search for God? Or is the Old
Testament a record of God's Revelation to man in history? Is the
Old Testament a part of the word of God? In the four lectures
presented in this book, Dr Young explores the history, nature,
content and influence of Old Testament theology. Dr. Young takes
bold issue with modern scholars of the Old Testament, who have
dissected its words, but ignored their meaning. In his discussion
of Old Testament theology and history, he admits that archaeology
has, in general, supported the position of those who have regarded
Old Testament history as untrustworthy. However, his clear
arguments support the premise that the Old Testament is grounded
upon that which God Himself did in history. The author examines the
nature of Old Testament theology, and compares Old Testament
literature with references in The Iliad and The Odyssey and in the
religious literature of Egypt and Babylonia. He traces the
development of the oral tradition, which can be recognised in Old
Testament literature, and the cultural influence which affected the
scribes. However, whilst he argues that these influences should be
noted, he believes that they are of secondary importance to the
words themselves. Finally, Dr, Young concludes by analysing the
meaning of the Covenant, and the content and influence of Old
Testament theology. He examines the prophecies which prepare for
the coming of the Messiah, and considers the manner in which the
Old Testament paves the way for the New. This discussion of Old
Testament theology is of supreme importance to ministers and
students, and to all who love the Bible.
Fourteen brucellosis experts from seven countries discuss the history, epidemiology, microbiology, immunology, diagnosis, treatment, and control of brucellosis in animals and man. Edited by members of the World Health Organization's Expert Committee on Brucellosis, this text is the first comprehensive treatment of the disease since The Nature of Brucellosis by Wesley W. Spink in 1956. Topics reviewed with current references include infection caused by newer species of Brucella, such as B. canis, newer diagnostic techniques, such as radioimmunoassay and ELISA, and newer treatments, such as rifampin and the quinolones. The pathogenesis and pathophysiology of brucellosis is reviewed in depth, correlating the disease in animals with the illness in humans. This volume is extremely useful for clinicians, researchers, and students in medicine, veterinary science, microbiology, immunology, epidemiology, public health, and international health.
"Occasionally God gives to His Church a man of unusual gifts, deep
piety, and true insight. Such a man was the late Robert Dick Wilson
(1856-1930). Dr. Wilson lived at a time when the Old Testament was
being subjected to some of the severest attacks and criticisms that
it had ever received. He himself was a devout Christian and grieved
over these attacks. He also had an insight into their nature and
into the need for refuting them. And he had the God-given ability
for standing up to the challenge which these attacks constituted,
accepting it and seeking to give an answer." -from Introduction by
E.J. Young
"Dr. E. J. Young has again brought to the Christian trade a work
which excels in its biblical content. This text on the prophetic
institution is not a run-of-the-mill work in either its thesis or
presentation. The literary style is a blend of simplicity and
lucidity. The thesis cuts across the general view concerning the
correct basis for interpreting the prophets and advances a strict
adherence to the rule, 'let Scripture interpret Scripture.'" -
Christian Life "This reviewer must confess that he is impressed
with the saneness and thoroughness of Dr. Young's exegetical
technique. Dr. Young is obviously a scholar of no mean ability; and
this book, as well as others by him . . ., provides ample proof
that he has been well trained in the field of Semitic philology." -
