Download or read book Lectures on the Truth of the Bible Classic Reprint written by Eli Noyes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Truth of the Bible It has been the object of the author to use such language as would be readily understood by the most common class of minds. Sense is never sacrificed to smoothness of sound, and when a few words of rough saxon have served best to express his meaning, he has not labored to dilute them with smooth rhetorical phrases. He does not pretend to say that the arrangement of the Lectures have, in all cases, been the best, but as each Lecture is complete in itself, this is a matter of trifling importance.

Book Twelve Lectures on the Teaching of the Bible in Relation to the Faiths of Christendom  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Twelve Lectures on the Teaching of the Bible in Relation to the Faiths of Christendom Classic Reprint written by Robert Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twelve Lectures on the Teaching of the Bible in Relation to the Faiths of Christendom The following lectures were delivered in Huddersfield during the past winter, and many persons having requested them to be put in their present permanent form, they are now given to tho public in the same spirit in which they were delivered, viz., from a desire to promote the personal study of the Holy Scriptures, with a view to salvation. The author, however, cannot allow them to get into the hands of the reader, without acknowledging his indebtedness to John Thomas, M.D., formerly of England, now of New York, by whose writings he was directed to the study of the Bible, and through whose able and original expositions he was enabled, in a short time, to comprehend its teachings, as conara-distinguished from ordinary theology. He feels himself bound to give this testimony as a merited tribute of gratitude, which he is glad of this opportunity of being able publicly to render. He now commits the lectures to the public, in the hope that they will stir up the earnest among the people to examine anew the foundations of their faith. Huddersfield, 12th February, 1862. These lectures have now been before the public for eighteen months. An edition of a thousand was, in the first instance, entirely disposed of with little or no assistance from public sale; and, tho demand continuing, a second edition is issued, in the hope that they will attain a still more extensive circulation among that class of persons who are interested in the topics discussed, and, in fact, devoutly concerned for their own salvation. It was for this class they were written, that they might be delivered from the grievous incubus of popular error on the subject of religion, and introduced to the sublime and saving doctrines of Christianity, as comprehensively based on the writings of Moses, the prophets, and the apostles. The accomplishment of this object is ail the compensation the author seeks for his labour, and he is gratified to know that it has been attained in several instances, since the issue of the first edition. In the present edition, the lectures have been extensively revised, and in some instances, remodelled; and an appendix has been added for the consideration of certain interesting and important subjects, only alluded to in the lectures. A copious index to the whole has also been supplied, as well as a list of persons in different parts of the kingdom who may be corresponded with in reference to the doctrines set forth. With these amendments, the author hopes the hook, as a whole, may be found more interesting and useful than in its original form.

Book Popular Lectures on the Books of the New Testament  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Popular Lectures on the Books of the New Testament Classic Reprint written by Augustus H. Strong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Lectures on the Books of the New Testament Tms book, with the exception of the eighth chapter, is a stenographic report of lectures delivered to a large Sunday-school class, which at times numbered as many as three hundred. This fact will explain the familiar and even colloquial style of address. While the problems of history and exegesis were discussed, the lectures were intended to be popular, in the sense of being intelligible to all. It is hoped that this has not prevented them from being fairly representative of the results of modern scholarship. They are now printed in the belief that they may be useful to a larger number of Christian people than that which first lis tened to them. A. H. S.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible of to-Day: A Course of Lectures Gladly do I confess the powerful influence of Kuenen on my Old Testament studies. But I have not followed him blindly. I have diligently com pared him with others, Ewald especially, only to be more thoroughly convinced of his superior penetra tion. My studies of the New Testament have been less dominated by any one authority. Recognizing the incomparable genius of Baur, I have hesitated to go with him in his refusal to grant Paul more than four Epistles. Perhaps Zeller's treatment of the Acts found me a readier convert, because of its striking vindication of the Apostle of my boundless reverence and love. And I trust that my opinions upon many points in both Testaments have been profoundly influenced by the immense sobriety of Dr. Samuel Davidson, whose elaborate introduc tions are a double monument of his colossal in. Dustry and his heroic independence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Rational View of the Bible written by Newton M. Mann Makn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Rational View of the Bible: A Course of Lectures The writer is aware that the views set forth in these lectures will strike many as nothing more than ingenious - an exercise in mental gymnastics, to be read, perhaps, as a curiosity, but without any actual bearing upon the subject discussed. If he had sprung upon the world a novel theory of 0 his own, the writer might not demur at such a judgment. But he is in the main stating the con elusions of others, and these the foremost biblical critics in the world. He would also remind readers of this class that these views are not distinctively heretical, since they are largely shared by the author of the article on the Bible in the last edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, whom the Scotch Kirk has tried and not convicted of doc trinal sin, by Dean Stanley (clamm et venerabile women), and by not a few other prominent men in good and regu lar standing.

Book Progressive Studies in the Bible  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Progressive Studies in the Bible Classic Reprint written by Samuel Dodds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progressive Studies in the Bible The present volume is an effort to meet the demand for a text book of the Bible that will make the study of it equal to any other branch in point of culture, and at the same time impart such knowledge of the Hebrew nation, its place in hisory, God's purpose in it and his method of dealing with it, as every liberally educated person ought to know. These studies were originally given as lectures to college classes and have assumed their present form largely under the inspiration of the classroom. It has been difficult to confine ourselves strictly to our original pur pose, to present one fundamental phase of biblical truth. We think by adhering to this purpose confusion is avoided and a foundation laid for intelligent personal studyu Much is left for the teacher in the way of comment and applica tion, and many opportunities afforded to explain the ap plication of the principles of the Hebrew government to modern society. We have made no effort to discuss in spiration, authorship, etc. Those who wish to follow this line of study can find many books on it. We have taken the Bible as it is and endeavored to learn its contents, its purpose and spirit. Although prepared primarily for col lege students in regular class work, the book may be used in Normal classes, under the direction of the pastor, or in special classes in Sabbath Schools.

Book Keywords in the Teaching of Jesus  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Keywords in the Teaching of Jesus Classic Reprint written by A. T. Robertson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Keywords in the Teaching of Jesus The seven chapters in this little book were delivered as lectures to the Jackson Springs Summer Assembly, under the auspices of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, in the last week of June, 1904. They are published practically as they were delivered and at the request of the Assembly. Many delightful memories come thronging my mind as I now write, memories of the wood robins caroling in the pine trees as I tried to talk to a large and deeply spiritual and sympathetic audience about the words of Jesus. If a still larger audience can be led to earnest study of the Master's teaching, this volume will not be in vain. These seven lectures are not an exhaustive discussion of the teaching of Christ. No book is that, but this one only claims to set forth the main points in Christ's teaching around which the rest clings. The first chapter discusses the same theme as the author's book, "The Teaching of Jesus Concerning God the Father," American Tract Society, New York, 1904.

Book Protestantism and the Bible

Download or read book Protestantism and the Bible written by Thomas Scott Preston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Protestantism and the Bible: Lectures Delivered in St. Ann's Church Bible must be authenticated by some living, infallible witness, or else it cannot stand. If it be accepted as the work of the Divine Spirit upon the testimony of the Catholic Church, then in all things must that testimony be obeyed. The Scriptures and the Church cannot be separated, neither in logic nor in fact. The attempt to separate them violates the order of God, and leads to countless contradictions; while it results in the abuse of the sacred word to the destruo tion of faith and piety. It is strange that the lessons of the past three hundred years are lost upon so many that any should fail to see the truth which is so plain, which responds to the needs of the intellect and heart. One reason why men do not accept the teachings of Catholic faith, is that they are nu willing to submit their intelligence to an authority external to themselves. If they would reason for one moment, they would see that such an authority is essential to the exercise of faith, and that the Pro testant principle destroys, root and branch, the fun damental idea of Christianity, which is a fixed creed coming from God through Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Testament Teaching in the Light of St. Paul'sAny are the works on New Testament Theology, and on particular doctrines, and on the doc trines of particular writers. But it needs more careful reading than most students have time for to gain from them a general grasp of the development of Christian thought. In the following pages, which contain an expansion of lectures delivered in Dublin to Divinity students and others, a method is followed which the writer believes has never been applied systematically to the New Testament as a whole. As the motion of objects at a distance can be more easily observed by noting their positions relative to a fixed mark, so the teaching contained in the several writings is noted in relation to St Paul's. The analogy Will not strictly hold because St Paul moved himself. But he has allowed us to know him so well that this method Offers the best criterion for placing the other teachers of the Church in the general movement. And although St Paul's own doctrine is not dealt with as a whole, we gain incidentally a wonderful impression of his uniqueness and spiritual power.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
