A Discourse Concerning The Confusion Of Languages At Babel

By William Wotton

Book Overview

A Discourse Concerning The Confusion Of Languages At Babel is a book written by William Wotton, an English theologian and scholar, in 1713. The book explores the biblical story of the Tower of Babel and the subsequent confusion of languages that occurred as a result of the construction of the tower. Wotton analyzes the various interpretations of the story and provides his own perspective on the significance of the event. He argues that the confusion of languages was a punishment from God for the pride and arrogance of the people who built the tower. He also discusses the implications of the story for the study of language and the diversity of cultures around the world. The book is a fascinating exploration of one of the most well-known stories in the Bible and provides valuable insights into the history of language and human civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
