Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ethics of the Hebrew Scriptures: Comprising Selections From the Pentateuch, Psalms, Prophets, Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Ben Sirach, Sayings of the Fathers, the Talmud, and Medieval Jewish Writers; Arranged for Sabbath-Schools and Homes
N ot merely for the sake of making, as it were, a holiday ex. Cursion into the contiguous territory of post-biblical writings, have we extended our selections beyond the limits of the Biblical canon. The firm conviction that prophetic inspiration did not cease when Malachi's ministry had ended, but that as in the Bible, so in the writ ings of the later periods the voiee of God spoke to the chosen few to whom comes the divine callz - this conviction that the great teachers of the second Temple and the dispersion are full of the same spirit as quickened the tongue of the masters of the first Twple and the cap tivity and the restauration, induced us to make the additions. What better means is there to show that whatever its outward fate and form the soul of Israel's religion is ethics; that there is its quicken ing force and the vital spark from God's altar touching to eloquence its lips, than the presentation of the post-biblical writers and writings?
