The Permanent Value of the Old Testament. E-book. Formato EPUB Charles Foster Kent - Books On Demand, 2019 -
During the past generation the Old Testament has commanded equally with the New the enthusiastic and devoted study of the great body of biblical scholars throughout the world. Two out of every three graduate students in our universities who specialize in the general field of biblical literature choose the Old as the special centre of their work. At the same time the tendency of the rank and file of the Christian church within the past decade has undoubtedly been to neglect the older Testament. Preachers as a rule select less than a fourth of their texts from it; the prevailing courses of Bible study devote proportionately less time to it; and teachers and scholars in the great majority of cases turn to the Old Testament with much less enthusiasm than they do to the New. Why are these two great currents setting in opposite directions, and what are the causes of the present popular neglect of the Old Testament? If the Old Testament should be relegated to a second place in our working canon of the Bible, let us frankly and carefully define our reasons. If, on the other hand, the prevailing apathy and neglect are due to ignorance of the real character and value of the Old Testament, let as lose no time in setting ourselves right.
Le Règne de l'esprit malin. E-book. Formato EPUB Charles Ferdinand Ramuz - Books On Demand, 2018 -
Un petit village paisible au début du XXe siècle. Un étranger, qui paraît bien sous tous rapports, vient s'y installer comme cordonnier. Il s'appelle Branchu, "Branchu, comme qui dirait Cornu...".Des événements étranges se mettent alors à arriver : des accidents inexplicables se produisent, une maladie inconnue décime les villageois ainsi que les bêtes, les moeurs se dérèglent peu à peu, la folie et la débauche se répandent dans les familles... Qu'arrive-t-il au village ? Et si l'étranger avait amené avec lui l'esprit du mal ?Note : l'auteur a commis plusieurs versions de cette oeuvre. La présente édition contient la 6e (de 1946), considérée comme la plus achevée.
