Publisher's Synopsis
The Journal of Sacred Literature is a collection of articles and essays on religious topics, compiled by John Kitto. This particular edition covers the period from July to October of 1848. The articles cover a wide range of topics, including biblical studies, theology, church history, and religious philosophy. Some of the articles are written by prominent theologians and scholars of the time, while others are written by lesser-known authors. The journal is intended for a scholarly audience and provides a valuable resource for those interested in the study of religion and religious literature. It is a fascinating glimpse into the religious debates and discussions of the mid-19th century.The Journal of Sacred Literature was undertaken with the design of supplying a want, which had long been felt, of a periodical devoted to Biblical literature, and established on so wide a basis as to embrace the contributions of writers of different denominations and of different countries. The aim of these publications are to furnish the students and readers of Biblical literature with an organ for the discussion of all subjects in which they are interested. Sample contents: Proposal of an Interpretation of the Word Elohim; On the Supposed Samaritan Text of the Septuagint; On the Burning of the World; On the Abundance of the Precious Metals in Ancient Times; Sketches of the Life and Writings of Francis Quarles; and much more.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
