Personalities of the Old Testament - Hale Lectures of 1938

New York, Charles Scribner's Sons. 1939, First Edition. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket. xvi + 632 pages. The Old Testament is the greatest storehouse of biography ever written, yet its very wealth in vigorous personalities has, to a degree, obscured the story of these mighty characters. Their inspiring histories have been so intertwined with the events of their day that, except to the most careful reader, the real individual has not been entirely clear. In this volume Professor James presents the immortal personalities of the Old Testament as leaders in the thought and action of Israel, with each one standing out in full view against the background of the time. Such men as Moses, David, Hosea, Nehemiah, such women as Deborah are the subjects of these biographies, each one built on a carefully explored and firmly laid foundation.

In February 1984 David Jenkins, Professor of Theology at Leeds University, received an invitation from the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, to become Bishop of Durham. His tenancy of the See was to become one of the most controversial in its history. He hit the headlines as the 'unbelieving bishop' after his expositions of the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection. When York Minster burst into flames days after his consecration his notoriety was assured. Enthroned at the time of the bitter miners' strike of 1984 to 1985, the new bishop preached to his Durham community on the Cost of Hope. From then on he was a marked man among the Tory establishment; according to Mrs. Thatcher, a cuckoo in the establishment nest. R1. Fine/Fine.
