The Rev. Dr. Murphy has, by long, faithful, and effective discharge of his duties as an instructor, secured the confidence of the British public. A minister of the Gospel, and a useful and edifying preacher, he became known to a generation, now in middle life, as an effective teacher in the Royal Academical I nstitution, Belfast, I reland, from which for manj years went forth the educated men who have, like Lord Cairns in England, and many in A merica, I ndia, and A ustralia, rendered distinguished public service in all the professions. Nearly forty years ago the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in I reland decided on the establishment of a theological college, substantially the same in plan and relations with Princeton and Yale seminaries in close sympathy with adjoining colleges, and at the same time under the control of the Church. To the chair of Hebrew Dr. Murphy was appointed. His career has been uniform, useful in a high degree, and eminently influential in promoting the critical and exegetical study of the Old Testament. He has reached the period of life when most men are supposed to be entitled to honorable rest ;but his energies have suffered no abatement, and they who see him among his students, or taking his part in the benevolent work of the great centre with which he has been so long identified, or enjoying summer leisure among books and scholars in London, would hardly realize that he has been a foremost and most laborious educator for half a century. Though not a student under the care of Dr. Murphy, it has been my privilege to be associated with him in many objects of common interest; and if the issue of this volume should carry his thoughts into new circles of readers, there will be to me the great pleasure of making a valued friend known where, until later, his influence would not have been appreciated.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines the first book of the Torah, Genesis, providing a comprehensive interpretation of its text through the lens of an original Hebrew translation. The author highlights that traditional readings of the book have been burdened by philosophical biases and misapprehensions of science. By reexamining the text with a fair and balanced hermeneutical approach, the book liberates Genesis from these constraints, bringing to light meanings that harmonize with modern science and reason. This reinterpretation delves into topics such as the origin of the universe, the nature of creation, the role of humanity, and the development of morality. The author argues that Genesis, when properly understood, not only offers a profound spiritual message but also aligns with established scientific principles. This groundbreaking work challenges conventional understandings of Genesis, opening new avenues for appreciating its timeless wisdom and relevance in the contemporary world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
