This commentary upon the famous Shepherd Psalm is narrated by a sheep herder who lived in Syria; in describing caring for the animals, he reveals the full significance of the Biblical verse.Published in 1904 at a time when Syria was still an agrarian society, this work juxtaposes Bible study of a legendary verse with the everyday life of a shepherd. Telling his story of tending the fields and observing the rhythms of nature, the narrator deftly weaves parallels to the scriptural verse, in a celebration of the beauty and wonder of the natural world - God's creation.Old Syrian cultural allusions, such as the reference to the 'valley of death', are explained in their context. The practice of tending to the sheep; keeping them warm, fed, and hydrated, and protecting them from wolves - all are discussed both practically and spiritually. Thus we grasp how salient allusions to shepherding were to those living in the era the Bible appeared.Although the narration is quite short, it is a vivid and worthy read. So readers may visualize what is said, several illustrations are included within the text.

Historical Pursuit of the Purpose of God with Reference to West Africa
William Allen Poe
Parson's Porch
2019
pokkari
This book offers the author's theological and biblical thoughts, informed by a unique perspective based on his knowledge of what was achieved when a strong missionary society agreed to cooperate with a sympathetic government in advancing Christian schools in West Africa. In the early eighteenth century, the British government was successful in claiming this prosperous part of West Africa, which they identified as the Gold Coast. This period of history, centered in the eighteenth century, came to be known by historians as "the scramble for Africa," and a scramble it was. Germany gained colonies that were then snatched from her at the end of World War I. Italy, Belgium, Portugal, and others likewise gained colonies, but by any measure, Great Britain gained the upper hand, the largest population, and most prosperous territory. Out of it, France emerged with the largest territory.
