Oriental Literature V2: Applied To The Illustration Of The Sacred Scriptures (1822)

Oriental Literature V2: Applied To The Illustration Of The Sacred Scriptures (1822) is a book written by Samuel Burder. It is the second volume of a two-part series that explores the use of Oriental literature to provide insight into the Bible. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Oriental literature and its relationship to the Bible. In the first chapter, Burder discusses the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context of the Bible, particularly in relation to the Middle East and Asia. He argues that knowledge of Oriental literature, including works from ancient Persia, India, and China, can provide valuable insights into the language, customs, and beliefs of the people who wrote and lived during biblical times. The following chapters explore specific examples of Oriental literature that shed light on various aspects of the Bible. For example, Burder discusses the influence of Persian poetry on the Book of Psalms, and the similarities between the story of Joseph in the Bible and the Indian tale of Nala and Damayanti. Throughout the book, Burder emphasizes the importance of using Oriental literature as a tool for understanding the Bible, rather than as a replacement for it. He argues that a deeper understanding of the cultural and historical context of the Bible can help readers to better appreciate its meaning and significance. Overall, Oriental Literature V2: Applied To The Illustration Of The Sacred Scriptures is a scholarly work that explores the relationship between the Bible and Oriental literature. It provides readers with a wealth of information and insights into the cultural and historical context of the Bible, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in biblical studies or Oriental literature.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
