The Sibylline Oracles: Translated From the Greek Into English Blank Verse (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Sibylline Oracles: Translated From the Greek Into English Blank VerseIt must be remembered that the Greek text of these books has come down to us in a very corrupt state, mutilated in a number of places, and notable for its imperfect meters. Many of the geographical and historical allusions are obscure and uncertain, and the several books contain numerous rep etitions. For the convenience of the critical reader the corresponding lines of the Greek text are indicated at the foot of each page of the translation, and in the notes refer emees are furnished to the places in the writings of the Christian fathers and other ancient authors where the Sibyl is quoted, or where similar sentiments occur. It is hoped that our Introduction and foot-notes will also supply the information which readers in general will desire; but it should be observed that there are many passages which all the learning and ingenuity of scholars have hitherto failed to make clear.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A gold mine for students of Classical mythology and early first millennium Jewish, Gnostic and Christian beliefs.Synopsis:THE SIBYLLINE ORACLES are a fascinating blend of mysticism, spirituality, philosophy and history emanating from the depths of antiquity. They were widely referenced by the early Church Fathers, and in spite of their pagan content, almost attained Canonical status. THE SIBYLLINE ORACLES are like a first draft of the Biblical Book of Revelation, and have many of the same characteristics as the prophecies of Nostradamus. Cryptic and Apocalyptic, they present the reader with an enigma that has puzzled the world for 2500 years, an enigma still waiting to be solved. This special deluxe edition includes three versions of the famous CHRISTIAN ACROSTIC, several Appendices and a lengthy Index, and other features unavailable in any other edition.

Excerpt from Biblical Hermeneutics: A Treatise on the Interpretation of the Old and New Testaments Considerable space has been given to the subject of prophetic symbolism. The apocalyptic books have ever been regarded as most difficult to explain, but not a few of the difficulties have grown out of the extravagant notion that we may expect to find in pr0ph scy a detailed history of events from the advent of Christ to the end of time. We have tried to show that the biblical symbols and apocalypses are largely self-interpreting, and, if allowed to speak for themselves, are not more difficult of exposition than the parables of Jesus. Profoundly grateful for the generous commendation of the former editions, and profiting by the friendly criticism of numerous reviews, the author has spared no pains to make this new edition more worthy of general favour. The revision has extended to nearly every page, and considerable portions have been rewritten. A num ber of chapters, not strictly belonging to Hermeneutics, have been omitted, and others have been condensed, so that the substance of the original work of 782 pages now appears in a more convenient, and, we trust, not less valuable, volume.
