The Song And The Soil - William George Jordan - Bog

""The Song and the Soil: Or The Missionary Idea in the Old Testament"" is a book written by William George Jordan and first published in 1913. The book explores the concept of missionary work as it is presented in the Old Testament. Jordan argues that the idea of spreading the message of God to others is not a new concept, but rather one that has been present throughout history. Jordan examines various passages from the Old Testament, including the Psalms, the Prophets, and the historical books, to show how the idea of missionary work is woven into the fabric of these texts. He also looks at the historical and cultural context in which these passages were written, to provide a deeper understanding of the message they convey. Throughout the book, Jordan emphasizes the importance of a strong connection between the ""song"" (the message of God) and the ""soil"" (the people and culture to whom the message is being delivered). He argues that effective missionary work requires an understanding and appreciation of the local culture and customs, as well as a willingness to adapt the message to fit the needs of the people. Overall, ""The Song and the Soil"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of missionary work in the Old Testament, and provides valuable insights for anyone interested in the history and practice of spreading the message of God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
