Book Description
Excerpt from The Old Humanities, and the New Science In writing a prefatory note to an American reprint of this notable address there are three things to consider - the writer, his subject, and the occasion. The greatly beloved author had a multitude of friends in all lands, and far abler pens have written much concerning him during the past twelve months. The subject is one of no less moment on this side of the Atlantic than to those in older countries who concern themselves with scholarship and education, though here the classicists are having a particularly hard struggle to retain in our academies, schools, and colleges a proper footing for the ancient languages and learning termed "the humanities."

Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Excerpt from Seven Decades of the Union: The Humanities and Materialism To the rector, board of visitors, faculty, alumni, and students of the College of William and Mary, I dedicate this memoir of her late rector and chancellor, John Tyler, the tenth President of the United States of America; prepared for the ax chives of his Alma Mater, in obedience to her resolves and orders, at intervals snatched from professional business, and from household hindrances and cares, since the meeting of the rector, board, and faculty in the year 1868. It has been to me a task of tears, dashed with some sacred joy, - a tale of sadness cheered and lightened by some exultant songs of triumphant reminiscence. Mr. Tyler's life ran through seven decades, from 1790 to 1862; it is full of the themes of many and mighty events and thoughts; it has a divine moral in its teachings, and lessons for the deepest study of mankind. Humbled by attempting the performance of this task, I profess only a "joy of grief," - no talents for the volume of its labors. To bring that volume within readable compass, I have sketched a memoir, not altogether a biography, and not at all a history, - an outline not wholly filled up, - a drawing somewhat colored and shaded, but foreshortened to delineate salient points and parts in the important and impressive life and action of a good and great man.

Christ and Adam
Author: Karl BarthPublisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498270689
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
In this essay, Barth discusses the relationship between Christ and Adam as understood by Paul. Moving beyond traditional exegetical and theological scholarship done on Romans 5, Barth offers an entirely new interpretation of the conception of humanity presented in Paul's view of the Christ-Adam relationship. A valid contribution to the interpretation of Romans 5, 'Christ and Adam' is also an example of Barth's exegetical method and provides insight into his broader theological project.
