About This Item
W W Norton & Co , 1962. paperback. Very Good. 0x0x0. This is the first paperback printing of Mary Ellen Chaseââ¬â¢s classic book from 1955. Smith taught religion at Smith College for many years. Part I of the book is entitled "The Ancient Hebrew Mind" and deals with the land, and the people's conception of history, their idea of time, their sense of place and other distinctive qualities of the Hebrew mind. In Part II "Imagination in the Old Testament" the author develops a most intriguing comparison between the literary style of The Odyssey and The Iliad and that of the Old Testament. In the concluding section the distinction is drawn between the language employed in the older parts of the Old Testament (pre-exilic), and that used later on after the exile. The differences between these two periods in Hebrew literature, the "classical" and the "romantic", are vividly illustrated by the selections quoted. Miss Chase is so imbued with a love for and understanding of the Bible that she cannot fail to communicate it to her readers.
