  Why Can't I Understand My King James Bible? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 158min

  In section one, "Biblical Examples", I am trying to identify with the Bible reader by giving examples from scriptures to show even the disciples of Christ had trouble understanding his words. We know Jesus is God in the flesh and knows how to teach the holy scriptures so they could understand his words. That ought to encourage the Bible believer who may struggle from time to time understanding the Bible. Then I go on to give valid reasons why many seem to have problems occasionally. I give keys to aid in getting more out of the Bible. I created this audiobook with the people I’ve pastored in mind. Here I give this to ponder: People who listened to Jesus, who were apostles, who were Bible writers, and who knew the original biblical languages still had trouble in their understanding. Remember, the Bible is unlike any other book; it’s divine.In the second section, "Biblical Expressions", my goal is to show you, the listener, that you know more than for which you give yourself credit. There are expressions we’ve heard all of our lives, but some are not so familiar to us. Some I explain, and some I do not explain but simply give either scripture or a thought. Again, there are places where we must study and search, as we are told. There are some Hebraisms, Archaisms, and Germanisms in the Bible. Remember, it’s an ancient book from the Middle East, and it’s Jewish! There are many clues to help you in this section if you will spend time herein.In section three, "Biblical English", I try to point out the reason why the spelling is so different in places. It’s because it is British English, and European bibles agree against the US spelling. The scriptures will give you all the understanding you need. It is my sincere prayer this audiobook will help you in your lifetime journey of reading God’s holy words, the King James Bible. ungekürzt.

  The Canterbury Tales, and Other Poems - Geoffrey Chaucer (eBook, ePUB)

  THE object of this volume is to place before the general reader our two early poetic masterpieces - The Canterbury Tales and The Faerie Queen; to do so in a way that will render their "popular perusal" easy in a time of little leisure and unbounded temptations to intellectual languor; and, on the same conditions, to present a liberal and fairly representative selection from the less important and familiar poems of Chaucer and Spenser. There is, it may be said at the outset, peculiar advantage and propriety in placing the two poets side by side in the manner now attempted for the first time. Although two centuries divide them, yet Spenser is the direct and really the immediate successor to the poetical inheritance of Chaucer. Those two hundred years, eventful as they were, produced no poet at all worthy to take up the mantle that fell from Chaucer's shoulders; and Spenser does not need his affected archaisms, nor his frequent and reverent appeals to "Dan Geffrey," to vindicate for himself a place very close to his great predecessor in the literary history of England. If Chaucer is the "Well of English undefiled," Spenser is the broad and stately river that yet holds the tenure of its very life from the fountain far away in other and ruder scenes. The Canterbury Tales, so far as they are in verse, have been printed without any abridgement or designed change in the sense. But the two Tales in prose - Chaucer's Tale of Meliboeus, and the Parson's long Sermon on Penitence - have been contracted, so as to exclude thirty pages of unattractive prose, and to admit the same amount of interesting and characteristic poetry. The gaps thus made in the prose Tales, however, are supplied by careful outlines of the omitted matter, so that the reader need be at no loss to comprehend the whole scope and sequence of the original. With The Faerie Queen a bolder course has been pursued.
