The Christian View of the Old Testament

The Christian View of the Old Testament is by Frederick Carl Eiselen. The contents list names, among others, chapters titled The Old Testament and Modern Science, The Old Testament and Archaeology and The Permanent Significance of the Old Testament. The book gives Frederick Carl Eiselen as Professor in Garrett Biblical Institute. The text says the legal literature differs from the other kinds in that it does not form separate books, but is embodied in other writings, principally in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

The text says priests constituted a very important class of religious workers among the ancient Hebrews. The text calls an inscription, from the standpoint of Old Testament history, perhaps the most interesting historical inscription left by an Assyrian ruler, and says it is found in the so-called Taylor Cylinder. The text says the book of Ecclesiastes, dealing with the perplexities of life in general, full of pessimism and skepticism, is not without its permanent value.
