Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Campbell Institute Bulletin, Vol. 12: October, 1915 In chapter three the Hebraic style of the Apocalypse is dis cussed. Charles does not agree with Moulton that the blunders of the writer are in no way due to Hebraism. He holds that the writer thought in Hebrew, that he did not know Greek idiomatically, and that he freely remodeled syntactical forms, launched forth unusual and unheard of expressions, with a view to the better setting forth of his ideas. He succeeded in producing one of the masterpieces of world literature. Chapters four and five are a discussion of Chapters VII-IX of the Apocalypse. In these is an illustration of the use the author makes of his theory that the book is a relative unity, containing visions experienced at different times and written down each at the time it was received. A few were witnessed as early as 67 A. D. The main body should probably be assigned to the period 92 and 95. The writing of the visions at different times has occasioned much of the difficulty of the interpreter. The use of Jewish sources, parts of which the Seer did not understand, also creates problems. In an appendix there is a list of some of the chief students of the Apocalypse down to very recent times.
