“THE HUMANISM OF
THE BIBLE” SERIES.
Edited by
Professor JOHN E. MCFADYEN, B.A. (Oxon), D.D.
(United Free Church College, Glasgow),
and
D. RUSSELL SCOTT, M.A.
(Late Pusey and Ellerton Hebrew Scholar in the University
of Oxford.)
Large Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt.
Price =3s. 6d.= net per Volume.
The aim of the Series is to set forth the human experience that
underlies, and is reflected in, the Bible. The doctrinal and theological
treatment of the Bible has undoubtedly tended to obscure its
transcendent human interest. This Series is an attempt to recover some
of those ancient experiences and personalities which come to expression
in the Bible, and to show how fascinating and relevant they are to the
life of to-day. It seeks in a broad way to interpret the spirit of the
Biblical books with which it deals, and to indicate their permanent
human interest and worth.
“If the series may be judged by its first volume it promises to fulfil
admirably its purpose of making the Bible a more human book.”--_Glasgow
Herald._
“The series promises to be a valuable contribution to theological
thought.”--_Dundee Courier._

PESSIMISM AND LOVE.
In Ecclesiastes and The Song of Songs.
By
DAVID RUSSELL SCOTT, M.A.
(Late Pusey and Ellerton Scholar in the University of Oxford).
_Large Crown 8vo, Cloth Boards, Gilt._ =3s. 6d.= _net._
“No more suggestive and illuminative scriptural studies have been
published recently.”--_Irish Presbyterian._
“There can be no question of the freshness of his exposition.”--_Glasgow
Herald._
“Mr. Scott is an accomplished Hebrew scholar ... his pages contain much
that is illuminative of the ancient text, and much that touches the
quick of modern needs.”--_Methodist Recorder._
“The volume ... very successfully attains the aim of the series which it
so admirably opens.”--Professor G. Buchanan Gray, D.D., D.Litt., in the
Mansfield College Oxford Magazine.
“Mr. Scott’s command of language is quite remarkable, and clear diction
is combined with penetrative insight and sound judgment.”--_Aberdeen
Daily Journal._
“Extremely interesting and able expositions ... attractive and valuable.
Mr. Scott is heartily to be congratulated on the striking success of his
opportune work, both as a translator and expositor.”--_Dundee
Advertiser._
“An able and exhaustive analysis and explanation of Ecclesiastes. The
book teems with valuable instructions for men of to-day.”--_Liverpool
Courier._
“The studies and expositions will be found suggestive, practical, and
thoroughly up to date in their application to the problems of
present-day life.”--_Northern Whig._
“A very useful piece of work. It is expository and frankly homiletic.
Mr. Scott gives us a fresh translation of both the books.... This kind
undoubtedly has its place, and it could hardly be done better than Mr.
Russell Scott does it.”--_Methodist Times._
“Thoughtful and stimulating.... These scholarly studies will appeal not
only to ministers of religion and theological students, but to the
average reader with a taste for philosophic moralising.”--_Nottingham
Daily Express._
THE INDIVIDUALITY OF
S. PAUL.
By
R. H. STRACHAN, M.A.
_Large Crown 8vo, Cloth Boards, Gilt._ =3s. 6d.= _net._
“A close and careful investigation of the teaching of the Apostle. Mr.
Strachan’s style is crisp and pointed.”--_The Times._
“The book represents much honest and independent thinking, and is a very
sincere and helpful contribution to a working knowledge of St. Paul’s
life and theology.”--_The Scotsman._
“Of Mr. Strachan’s study of the Apostle we can speak in terms of warm
commendation. It is a work of clear discernment and of sound judgment
... deserves to be welcomed as a most helpful study of the individuality
of St. Paul and as a valuable exposition of the truths which it was his
mission to proclaim.”--_Westminster Gazette._
“Mr. Strachan writes with strength, decision, lucidity and makes Paul
stand before us as a Christian thinker and pastor.”--_Methodist Times._
“The arrangement of the matter is admirable, and as a result the very
large amount of information is compressed into a very small space. Among
the many books on this great theme, this of Mr. Strachan’s alike for its
scholarship, its humanity, and its style deserves an honoured
place.”--_Liverpool Post._
“The theological student will find Mr. Strachan’s work fresh,
stimulating and reverent. The volume is characterised by great
accuracy.”--_Aberdeen Free Press._
“An important and original contribution to the understanding of the New
Testament.”--_Sheffield Daily Telegraph._
“Unquestionably a very striking and valuable contribution to the study
of Paul as a man and a theologian.”--_Christian World,_.
“Every page bears evidence of painstaking research. The volume will
prove of signal value to the student.”--_Aberdeen Daily Journal._
RELIGION IN SONG.
STUDIES IN THE PSALTER.
By
Professor W. G. JORDAN, D.D.
(Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.)
_Large Crown 8vo, Cloth Gilt._ =3s. 6d.= _net._
This is a most fascinating volume. Resting on a basis of accurate
scholarship which is never obtruded, Prof. Jordan interprets the spirit
of the Psalter with singular felicity. In his skilful hands this ancient
Hymn Book becomes amazingly modern. His volume is eminently wise and
helpful. To the preacher it is a veritable gold mine, while apart
altogether from its religious power and insight it is a literary treat.

=The Marprelate Tracts.= By WILLIAM PIERCE, Author of “An Historical
Introduction to the Marprelate Tracts.” Demy 8vo, cloth, 12s. 6d. net.
The “Tracts” reprinted in this volume are among the most famous in
history. They were read eagerly everywhere in England, from the Court to
the country farmhouse, when they appeared at the end of the sixteenth
century. They are racy in style, and the unknown author, “Martin
Marprelate,” brings great resources of wit, humour and argument to bear
in his tremendous onslaught upon the Bishops. Mr. Pierce gives a very
scholarly edition of the tracts, enriched by many valuable and
illuminating notes.
Dr. JAMES MOFFATT, in _The British Weekly_, says:--“Will rank as a
standard edition. It is not possible to convey any idea of the
historical scholarship and research which have gone to the making of
this book, but Mr. Pierce will have his reward in the consciousness of
serving the cause of religious liberty; and in the gratification of
those who have to study the religious situation of England during the
sixteenth century.... Their historical importance is considerable.”
“One of the most valuable contributions to our history ever
made.”--Principal W. B. SELBIE.

THE HUMANISM OF THE BIBLE SERIES
Edited by PROFESSOR JOHN E. MCFADYEN, B.A. (Oxon), D.D. (United Free
Church College, Glasgow), and D. RUSSELL SCOTT, M.A., (Late Pusey and
Ellerton Hebrew Scholar in the University of Oxford). Large Crown 8vo.
Cloth Gilt. Price 3s. 6d. net per Volume. The aim of the Series is to
set forth the human experience that underlies, and is reflected in, the
Bible. The doctrinal and theological treatment of the Bible has
undoubtedly tended to obscure its transcendent human interest. This
Series is an attempt to recover some of those ancient experiences and
personalities which come to expression in the Bible, and to show how
fascinating and relevant they are to the life of to-day. It seeks in a
broad way to interpret the spirit of the Biblical books with which it
deals, and to indicate their permanent human interest and worth.
“If the series may be judged by its first volume it promises to fulfil
admirably its purpose of making the Bible a more human book.”--_Glasgow
Herald._
=Pessimism and Love in Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs=, with

“An able and exhaustive analysis and explanation of Ecclesiastes. The

Courier._
=The Individuality of S. Paul.= By R. H. STRACHAN, M.A.
“Every page bears evidence of painstaking research. The volume will

=*Religion in Song: Studies in the Psalter.= By Prof. W. G. JORDAN, B.A.,
D.D.
This is a most fascinating volume, eminently wise and helpful. To the
preacher it is a veritable gold mine, while apart altogether from its
religious power and insight it is a literary treat.

=The Sunday Afternoon Song Book.= Containing 137 Hymns. For use at
“Pleasant Sunday Afternoons,” and Other Gatherings. Compiled by H. A.
KENNEDY, of the Men’s Sunday Union, Stepney Meeting House. Twentieth
Thousand, 2d; music, 1s.
“Contains 137 hymns, the catholic character of which, in the best sense
of the term, may be gathered from the names of the authors, which
include Tennyson, Ebenezer Elliott, Whittier, G. Herbert, C. Wesley,
Thomas Hughes, J. H. Newman, Longfellow, Bonar, and others. While the
purely dogmatic element is largely absent, the Christian life, in its
forms of aspiration, struggle against sin and love for the true and the
good, is well illustrated.”--_Literary World._

[4] Cf. such sayings as “Coals to Newcastle”--a proverb that has a
parallel in many countries, for example, the Greek phrase, “Owls to
Athens.”
[5] Trench, _Proverbs and their Lessons_, first published in 1857: a
learned and brilliant little volume to which the present chapter is
indebted for several suggestions.

Institution_ (1887) p. 7.
[10] As a text-book it was at least memorable. A distinguished man of
letters tells me that one of its injunctions, taught him in his first
school, he might claim never to have forgotten: _Let thy foot be seldom
in thy neighbour’s house, lest he be weary of thee and hate thee_ (Pr.
25^{17}). His friends bear regretful and emphatic witness that the
facts completely justify his claim.
[11] Mark Rutherford, _The Revolution in Tanner’s Lane_, p. 238.
[12] In the final form of the Book thus gradually evolved it is
sometimes very easy, sometimes difficult or impossible, to distinguish
with exactitude the earlier from the later ‘sources’ out of which
it has been composed; but the main stages of the compilation can
generally be determined with a high degree of accuracy, just as in
an old cathedral through the varying modes of architecture employed
the general history of the building is clearly visible to the trained
perception.
[13] Evidence for the statements here given is omitted, partly because
they are matters of general agreement among modern students of the
Bible, but still more because the full evidence has been repeatedly set
forth in works accessible to any who may have inclination to consider
the subject in detail. Reference may conveniently be made to C. H.
Toy, _Proverbs_, or to the same writer’s article _Book of Proverbs_,
in the _Encyclopædia Britannica_ (11th edition); or to G. F. Moore,
_Literature of the Old Testament_, ch. xxii. (Home University Library).
[14] Cp. also 10^{1} _The proverbs of Solomon_; 22^{17} _Words of the
Wise_; 24^{23}, _These are also words of the Wise_; 25^{1} _These are
also proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah,
copied out_; 30^{1}, _Sayings of Agur, son of Jakeh_; 31^{1}, _Sayings
of Lemuel, king of Massa_. The last two of these titles rest on an
uncertain Hebrew text. For the allusion to Solomon see pp. 71, 72.
[15] Perhaps almost all, in their present polished form. Thus Toy
(_Proverbs_, p. xi.) declares that “none of the aphorisms are popular
proverbs or folk-sayings. They are all reflective and academic in tone,
and must be regarded as the productions of schools of moralists in a
period of high moral culture.” This observation is generally true, and
of great importance; but it is not to be understood as meaning that
the Book, or even the several sections, sprang out of nothing. In and
behind the finished product there may well be a great deal of earlier
material.
[16] _i.e._, any subsequent changes were of a minor character,
introduced occasionally by some scribe or copyist. The year 200
B.C. may reasonably be taken as the lower limit of
date, partly because _Proverbs_ has features (notably its attitude
to the Mosaic Law) which suggest that it was finished earlier
than _Ecclesiasticus_, a work composed about 190 B.C. This
argument, though strong, is not conclusive; but in any case the
peaceful, comfortable, tone which pervades _Proverbs_ indicates that
it is not later than the years of persecution preceding the Maccabean
revolt in 167 B.C.

[34] For these titles see Chapter II., p. 37. That such a phrase as
_The proverbs of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel_ (Pr. I^{1})
at the head of a section does not necessarily imply or even claim
authorship, may seem astonishing to those unacquainted with ancient
literature, but it is easily understood by those who have made so
much as a moderate study of the subject. The ancient title in modern
parlance would be represented by some such heading as the following,
“A collection of sayings representative of Hebrew wisdom dedicated to
the memory and example of that royal lover of Wisdom, King Solomon.” To
suppose that the propriety of the ancient procedure ought to be judged
by modern canons of literary right and wrong would be both unjust and
foolish. Similarly from the heading prefixed to Pr. 25-29, _These also
are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah,
copied out_; it does not follow that the proverbs in those chapters
were old in Hezekiah’s time. Probably Hezekiah, like Solomon, showed
special interest in literary work, and it may be that a collection of
proverbs formed in his reign is the nucleus of the present chapters
25-29 (So Volz, _Weisheit_, p. 95). On the other hand it is possible
that nothing more should be inferred than that, there being a tradition
of literary activity in Hezekiah’s reign, the compilers of the Book of
Proverbs made use of the tradition in order to indicate (by this title)
that in their opinion the proverbs of chaps. 25-29 were later than or
secondary to the “Solomonic” proverbs which precede in chs. 1-24 (So
Toy, _Proverbs_, § vi., and p. 457); and see also Driver, _Literature
of the Old Testament_, p. 405.
[35] Detailed proof is impossible, and the question must be argued
on general evidence, which any modern commentary on the Book of
Proverbs will supply. Toy, _Proverbs_, § vi. is emphatic in his view
that no authority whatever attaches to titles ascribing proverbs to
Solomon. Volz (p. 95) is non-committal: “Whether small fragments of
Solomon’s work have been transmitted to us cannot be determined.”
Driver, _Literature of the Old Testament_, p. 406f, is of much the same
opinion; but, remarking that the “proverbs in 10^{1{ff}} exhibit great
uniformity of type,” he remarks that “perhaps this type was set by
Solomon.”

[39] What follows is without reference to the ancient civilisation
of the far East, India or China. The “world” we are here considering
means the civilisation of the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea. A
few pages later, the terms “Eastern” and “Western” will be used with
similar latitude: “Eastern” or (“Oriental”) denoting the peoples of
Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia; and “Western” the peoples
of Greece, Macedonia, and the old Greek colonies of the Ægean islands
and the coast of Asia Minor.

[44] Stoicism, whilst it offered the thinker immunity from the fears of
life, was also adapted to the needs of the generality of men whom it
sought to provide with principles for the stable and successful conduct
of ordinary life. Bevan (op. cit.) points out that the system shows
signs of hasty construction, reflecting the urgency of the problems
it sought to meet. Its strongly practical character is seen in the
tendency to find expression in brief, pointed, _formulæ_, catch-words,
and maxims, evidently designed to make its doctrines easy for the
average man to comprehend. The resemblance to Hebrew Wisdom-teaching is
interesting and obvious.
[45] We have to use the term “worldly-wisdom” and not “wisdom,” because
the Greeks also had their seekers after true wisdom at this period, as
may be seen in the gnomic verses of Solon, Phocylides and Theognis,
many of whose maxims, as well as the sayings of Stoic philosophers,
might be quoted to show that Hellenism was not without the protest from
within itself of noble souls. The contrast suggested above is therefore
not one between Greek and Hebrew Wisdom-teaching, but between the
Hebrew Wisdom and the _general_ “unwisdom” of ordinary Hellenic life.

a sentence which would not be as suitable for any other people as for
Israel” (_Proverbs_, p. xxi.)
[49] The Jews seem to have had an unusual aptitude for confining
themselves to particular points of view. Mark to what an extent the
Prophets ignore the Priests, and the Priests the Prophets. This makes
it less surprising to find that the Proverbialists should ignore both.
[50] Further reference may be made to Delitzsch, _Jewish Artisan Life
in the time of Christ_, and also Büchler, _Der galilaische ‘Am-ha-’
Arets des zweiten Jahrhunderts_. Some of the trades then reckoned
ignoble seem by no means so to us; for example, tanners, weavers, and
hairdressers were particularly despised. One Rabbi quaintly remarks:
“Ass-drivers are mostly wicked, camel-drivers mostly honest, sailors
mostly pious, the best of physicians is destined for Gehenna, and the
most honourable of butchers is a partner of Amalek.”
[51] It is good to feel that, whatever the Christian centuries have
not yet achieved for the regeneration of society, the “poor man’s
neighbour” has redeemed his reputation from this terrible charge.

your glance wanders, nor thrust yourself forward into the dish. Eat
like a man_ [_i.e_., do not gnaw or gobble as an animal would do] _what
is set before thee, and do not bolt your food, lest you be loathed. Be
first to leave off for the sake of good manners, and be not insatiate
lest you offend._ Cp. E. 8 which also treats of “How to behave.”

[60] Sometimes the whole point of a saying lies in the use of different
terms. Thus Pr. 17^{21} seems merely redundant in the R.V., “He that
begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow; and the father of a fool hath
no joy.” But the “fool” of the first clause is in the Hebrew _Kesīl_, a
coarse fool, and the “fool” of the second is _Nabal_; _i.e._, to have
the first as a son will involve some regrets, but the second robs his
father of all joy.

[63] Toy justly remarks, “The motive here assigned--fear of Jehovah’s
displeasure--belongs to the ethical system of _Proverbs_. But this
motive does not impair the dignity of the moral standard presented.
Jehovah’s displeasure is the expression of the moral ideal: it is one’s
duty, says the proverb, not to rejoice at the misfortunes of enemies.
This duty is enforced by a reference to compensation, but it remains a
duty.”
[64] “The antithesis is ethical, not merely intellectual. The
meaning is not that the righteous speaks cautiously, the wicked
inconsiderately; but that the good man takes care to speak what is true
and kind, whilst the bad man, feeling no concern on this point, follows
the bent of his mind and so speaks evil.” (Toy _ad. loc._).

were capable), but, although God had offered wisdom to all, only Israel
had responded to the offer and so received the divine gift.

[84] This maxim was familiar among the Greeks, and is quoted by
Æeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and other writers. Tradition ascribed
its origin to Solon, the statesman of early Athens, who was reckoned
one of the seven Sages of Greece. Its occurrence in _Ecclesiasticus_ is
an interesting illustration of the cosmopolitan aspect of the Wisdom
movement.
[85] Pr. 14^{32}, _The righteous hath hope in his death_ ... comes
nearest to the idea of immortality; but the accuracy of the Hebrew
text is doubtful. Pr. 15^{24} and 23^{17, 18} are to be understood as
referring to the character of the good man’s life on earth (see Toy’s
notes on these passages).
[86] “The influence of the synagogue as a religious factor, even in

references to it in the contemporary literature would lead us to

_Studies in Pharisaism and the Gospels_, pp. 1ff.
[87] The reader familiar with the Gospels should guard against the
notion that the Scribes were always guilty of the worst qualities that
legalism is apt to foster. A class ought not to be equated with its
less worthy representatives, unless we are willing, for example, to
condemn the first Christians for the sins of certain orders in the
Mediæval Church, or to saddle the eager pioneers of the Reformation
with the shortcomings of their followers in the eighteenth century.

[97] Jew and Christian, too often ignorant of the virtues each
possesses, are painfully conscious of one another’s defects. Better
knowledge of history would do much to relieve or lessen mutual
prejudices. How seldom do Christians realise that some of the less
amiable qualities found in certain classes of modern Jews (Are there
no objectionable Gentiles?) are the logical result of regulations
decreed by our mediæval Christian forefathers. For example, the Jews
were once as catholic as any other nation in the arts and industries
they followed for a livelihood, until legal restrictions were
multiplied against them. “Even in Spain,” writes Mr. Abrahams, “Jews
were forbidden to act as physicians, as bakers or millers; they were
prohibited from selling brass, wine, flour, oil or butter in the
markets; no Jew might be a smith, carpenter, tailor, shoemaker, currier
or clothier for Christians ... he might neither employ nor be employed
by Christians in any profession or trade whatsoever.... In other parts
of England these restrictions were far more rigidly enforced than in
Spain. In England money-lending was absolutely the only profession
open to the Jews. On the Continent Jews were taxed when they entered
a market and taxed when they left it; they were only permitted to
enter the market place at inconvenient hours, _and the Church ended by
leaving the Jews nothing to trade in but money and second-hand goods,
allowing them as a choice of commodities in which to deal new gold or
old iron_.” (_Jewish Life in the Middle Ages_, p. 241).
