Publisher description
Excerpt from Words of Koheleth: Son of David, King in Jerusalem; Translated Anew, Divided According to Their Logical Cleavage, and Accompanied With a Study of Their Literary and Spiritual Values and a Running Commentary If a single word were sought, to denote the spirit in which this volume has been written, the writer would lay claim to the word constructive. As distinguished from the purely critical, which latter spirit so dominates our age, this may be figured in simple terms of position and direction. The critical spirit, taking a station outside the subject of study, looks over into it with the eyes of a spectator, noting the results of a process in which it has not shared, and passing judgment by a standard of history or dogma or philology already made. Its direction, by the very fact of being critical, is essentially opposite to the creative surge and current of the authors mind; it reduces his fervors to a residuum of reason; it imposes a dispassionate measure on what is to it a finished result; its besetting tendency is to leave the work cold and obsolete, or analyzed out of life.
