This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bible Teachings in Nature One of the most distinctive features of the present day is the general taste for grand and beautiful scenery. Nature is now loved for her own sake, apart from all her uses to man. Not only poets and painters, but society as a whole, recognise the fact that the world owes its picturesqueness to its waste places. It has been discovered that a moun tain is something more than a mere huge heap of earth and rock - and that a lake mirrors in its waters other and greater beauty than that of the surrounding landscape. The terror of the volcano, and the grandeur of the snow-peak, when mingled with the smiles of warm regions flushed with corn and wine, are now felt to make a Divine harmony. Only an age like ours, amid all its Utilitarianism, could find with Ruskin its highest ideal of an earthly paradise on the slopes of a great snow Alp, bright below with the green of forest and pasture, and sublime above with the purple of beetling precipice, and the silver of virgin summit. Seven times purified in the fires of Heaven. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Gospel in Nature Or God s Demonstration Classic Reprint written by S. M. Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel in Nature, or God's Demonstration Of late years there has been much investiga tion as to the source, authorship and authority of the Bible. Uncertainty, and sometimes doubt, have been raised in the minds of many. It has occurred to the author of this book that the ques tion: Are the doctrines and principles inculcated in the Scriptures true? Is, after all, far more important than any question which could be raised as to their origin, or even their inspiration. If it can be clearly shown that the Bible is true; that what it requires is right and wise; that it simply reveals the truth and does not presume to create truth, then the important question is, not Is the Bible inspired but rather, What truths does the Bible reveal If one will carefully study the Bible and compare its revelations with what one must see and know from every other possible source of knowledge, he will, I think, be forced to the conclusion that only inspired men could have written it. The Bible itself, if intelligently com pared with all the dependable knowledge men have derived from other sources, is conclusive evidence of its inspiration and authority. It should be kept in mind that the Bible only reveals, and does not create truth. Every great principle inonl cated in the Scriptures was true before the Bible was written, and would have been true if there had been no Bible, All the truth concerning God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Laws and Gospel Teachings Christian reader to give a scientific as well as a Scriptural reason for the hope that is in him. As a fitting introduction to what is to follow and as affording an indisputable corroboration of the truth and accuracy of the gospel narratives, our first Chapter Shall be occupied with a pre sentation of the complete coincidence of the evan gelists' statements with those of recent explorers in relation to the physical features, natural pro ductions, cities and villages, streams and routes, of the land in which the scenes of the gospel were enacted. The testimony which nature thus bears can neither be gainsaid nor resisted, and the mi nute and perfect accuracy of the Scriptures as thus tested confirms our confidence in their truth fulness where we have not the same means of testing them.

Download or read book The Divine Travail in Nature Man and the Bible written by John Coutts and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Travail in Nature, Man and the Bible: As Traced by Science and the Method of Christ In former works in the pursuit of truth, the chief object kept in View has been that of discovering in what way the light of science tends to make known to men Divine order and law, as conceived to be the Will of God. This has been done in the light Of the method of the teaching of Christ, as fully explained, and the results have been, as related to Nature, Man and the Bible, such as require the careful consideration of thoughtful men. It is assumed here that unity and harmony of thought have been attained in this direction; thus what is required atgthe present time is not the further study of that line of thought. It is, however, one thing to perceive that such agreement exists in the light of science and the method Of Christ, and to apply these conceptions to the more practical problems of life as these are studied by thoughtful men. When men by the inductive, or scientific, method of thought seek to discover truth, what they desire to know is the true relations that exist, what truly is and what ought to be they seek after definable order, and when that discovered order is verified, then this becomes law, what men ought ever to expect under similar conditions. The position which science has reached, as related to order and law in the physical world is unique in history it is not what men expected in fact, they have had revealed to them a new universe that transcends in glory all the experiences and empiric reasonings of men. It is true that science works for practical ends; but it can now be seen that the results of scientific work, in every direction, tend toward a perfect idealism an intellectual cosmic universe in which order and law are found to be regnant.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mountains of the Bible: Their Scenes and Their Lessons With these impressions, we purpose to investigate and improve some portions of the Bible which are not very often made the subjects of pulpit discourse, nor of private study, but which are most interesting, nay, profitable, to the humble and believing reader. We propose to visit and ascend some of the mountains which scripture has immortalized, and which were once the scenes of wonderful events. As we draw near to these sublime monuments of nature, let us remember that they are also memorials of his majesty and mercy who is nature's Lord. When standing at their base, and listening to their solemn procla mations, let us employ the language of the spouse, and say, The voice of my beloved! Behold, he' cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Gospel in Nature written by Henry C. Mccook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel in Nature: A Series of Popular Discourses on Scripture Truths Derived From Facts in Nature Ten of these lectures were issued, one every week as delivered, under the auspices of the Young Men's Church Association of the Tabernacle Church. The enterprise was attempted with a view of furnishing religious reading especially to invalids, the aged, and others detained from Sunday worship and instruction, as well as to persons who do not habitually attend church services. It was successful beyond expectation, as a large number of copies was thus distributed as current literature. It is hoped that readers who have fallen in with those occasional issues may wish to possess the entire series in this book form. The Bible approves itself a creation of the Divine Spirit by the profound sympathy which it has with physical nature. On the other hand Nature shows the traces of her Creator's touch by the readiness with which she yields up her every form and force to be the drapery and Sign of spiritual truths. Nature is God's great book of parables. The undevout eye may read the title, finger the covers, scan the title-page, the frontispiece, the pictures, may even con some of the broader script; but it needs a devout mind to so read the book as to drink in the hidden meanings, to come into very spiritual communion with the Divine Author's most holy, vital and Vitalizing thoughts. That is why those holy men of Old, who spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost in their moments Of inspiration, read religious lessons in the sky, the sea, the earth, stars, flowers and birds, in leaf, cloud and murmuring brook, in mountain, storm and snow-crystal found books in the running brooks, sermons in stones. And good in everything. There is no nature-book so sweet, pure, and true as the Bible of God. The author sends forth this volume with the earnest wish that it may bring to a few of his fellow-men some measure cf confirmation of this truth or the sweet surprise of its revelation.

Download or read book The Natural Theology of Evolution Classic Reprint written by J. N. Shearman and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural Theology of Evolution Most persons who are disposed to be religious find it an easy thing to see the hand of God in the works of nature. To them it is pleasant and profitable to contemplate the world as Gods handiwork, and they are disposed to offer the marks of design which it shows as a convincing proof of His existence. The attempt to present this proof in a clear and orderly way has given rise to Natural Theology, a study which, until quite recently, was in high repute and esteem. It attained, perhaps, to its maximum of influence with the publication of Paley's Natural Theology, a remarkable work which put the argument from design in the plainest and clearest terms, and which was everywhere accepted as conclusive. It was accompanied and followed by many other works from which we may learn how highly Natural Theology was esteemed and how widely it was studied; of these the Bridgwater Treatises are, perhaps, the most famous. But this era of exceptional triumph and brilliancy did not last long. It may be said to have come to an end with the publication on the 24th of November, 1859, of Darwin's Origin of Species. As that book became well known the influence of Natural Theology declined. It was felt that the whole argument had lost its force, and that the appearance of plan and contrivance in Nature was fully and satisfactorily accounted for without any necessity for attributing it to conscious design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear and concise text helps readers grasp the doctrines of the Christian faith considered basic from the earliest days of Christianity.

Heine primarily uses the classical Christian doctrines of the Nicene Creed to guide students into the essentials of the faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature, the Mirror of Grace: Studies of Seven Parables His people indeed have been reading in this book ever since, and many of the church's best teachers have busied themselves with it. Origen and Augustine in the patristic age; Anselm and Hugo of St. Victor in the Middle Ages; Luther, Heinrich Muller and Christian Scriver, among the older German writers; John Spencer and Thomas Fuller, in England; Hugh Macmillan, George Macdonald and Mrs. Alfred Gatty, in our own time, have rendered good service as interpreters of the parables. These are names which occur to me, but there are many others who have laid us under obligations. The parables I have tried to interpret more fully are all of them suggested in the Scriptures. They run through the whole texture of the Bible, ap pearing more fully in some parts than in others. They are but a few out of a great number which are found in the good book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Books of God: Nature, History, and Scripture These sermons also, like those last published, were mostly preached near the end of Mr. Dawson's life; and the marked difference between the two series is owing to the selection which has been made according to subject. The two series Of dis courses would have to be read together and made to interpenetrate one another, to afford a fair Specimen Of Mr. Dawson's teaching as his people listened to it. It has not been thought desirable to cumber the pages with foot-note references to Scripture texts, Where a Concordance will serve the purpose and it would have been wrong to correct the language Of quotations where the deviation from literalness is conscious and intended. These discourses, like the last, are mostly printed from Miss Beauclerc's reports. There is only one exception, and that is the sermon on Christ fulfils Moses, a valuable link in the series, for which the Editor is indebted to Mr. James Wright.

Download or read book The Way written by John F. Weir and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Way: The Nature and Means of Revelation The study of the Bible in the light of modern research has yielded results of great value: among other things it has led to a more discriminating criticism of the text of Scripture, and to a clearer understanding of its literary history. The modern critic has learned to approach his object with directness, in the interest of truth, and a closer scrutiny of historic remains is gradually freeing the mind from some beliefs which had become almost a superstition. Nevertheless there are certain tendencies in the prevalent methods of investigation, which, when applied to biblical criticism and scriptural exegesis, need a corrective. Recent naturalistic methods, having in some degree assumed the character of a reaction against the extreme supernaturalism of older estimates of the Bible, tend to subordinate Revelation to the historic elements of Scripture. This is manifestly a reversal of the old order of thought, and it cannot be doubted that the reaction itself is running to an extreme, and needs a counteracting check by another mode of approach.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Inspiration of the Bible If the Bible is the Word of God; if it stands on an in finitely exalted plane, all alone; if it immeasurably tran scends all the greatest productions of human genius; then, we should naturally expect to find that it has unique cre dentials, that there are internal marks which prove it to be the handiwork of God, that there is conclusive evidence to show that its Author is superhuman, Divine. That these expectations are realized we shall now endeavor to show; that there is no reason whatever for any one to doubt the Divine inspiration of the Scriptures is the purpose of this book to demonstrate. As we examine the natural world we find innumerable proofs of the existence of a Personal Creator, and the same God who has manifested Himself thro' His works has also revealed His wisdom and will thro' His Word. The God of creation and the God of written revelation are One, and there are irrefutable arguments to show that the Almighty who made the heavens and the earth. Is also the Author of the Bible.
