Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes in the Life of the Saviour IT is a testimony alike to the superlative greatness of Christianity and the unerring truthfulness of the art-instinct, that, since the birth of the Saviour of Men, the greatest artists have found their noblest inspirations in the sublime events and scenes that signalized the advent of the Christian religion. The Annunciation, the Virgin Mother and her Heaven-begotten Child, the early Conversation withthe Doctors in the Temple, the Miracles, the Agony in the Garden, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection, the Lord's Supper and the Ascension, have furnished the favorite subjects of the great painters, throughout all the eighteen centuries of Christian history. Sculpture has also paid its highest tributes to Christian themes; and architecture has honored our holy religion by rearing for its worship its grandest and most graceful monuments. Nor has poetry been behind its sisterhood of arts in devotion to the divine truth and beauty it has found in the character and mission of Jesus, and the heroic lives of his early fol lowers. There is, indeed, no department of English poetry so rich and so extensive as that which is properly denominated sacred. Within the last few years, this mine has been worked by collectors and compilers with astonishing results. Not less than twenty vol umes have recently been collected, in different departments of sacred verse, that were not intended for public worship; while the hymnology of the language has been swelled by the different sects to such a catalogue that it would seem to embrace the lyrical expression of every phase of Christian doctrine and devotional feeling.

Download or read book The Closing Scenes of the Life of Christ written by D. D. Buck and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Closing Scenes of the Life of Christ: Being a Harmonized Combination of the Four Gospel Histories of the Last Year of Our Saviour's Life Hese Readings and Prayers have been compiled for any who, in the bustle and hurry of work, have little time to select for themselves suitable passages for daily meditation and prayer. The idea when first suggested was so warmly approved of, that the scheme has been considerably enlarged, and it is hoped that the book will be found useful for Household and Family Prayers, as well as in Schools and Public Institutions, and more particularly in Hospital Wards, for which it was originally intended, where the Nurses are busy, and the Patients oftentimes too ill to attend to any but the Simplest Scripture and the shortest Prayers. Being so largely made up of extracts from Holy Scripture, it may also supply a want as a Manual of Devotion in daily Christian life where there is limited opportunity for special Bible study. For the Morning Readings, the Life of our lord jesus christ, from His Birth to His Ascension, has been arranged in historical sequence from the four Gospels. The Epistles from the Book of Common Prayer have been used as often as possible for the Evening Readings, and other appropriate passages from the Old or New Testaments, that there may be consecutive teaching as well as variety from day to day, and so as to suggest and mark the wonderful harmony of thought throughout the Whole of the Inspired Volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, Vol. 1: Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Compositions From the Four Gospels, With Notes and Explanatory Drawings This is why, attracted as I was by the divine figure of Jesus and the touching scenes re corded in the Gospels, I determined to go to Palestine on a pilgrimage of exploration, hop ing to restore to those scenes as far as possible the actual aspect assumed by them when they occurred. For this, was it not indeed absolutely necessary to study on the spot, the configuration of the landscape, and the character of the inhabitants, endeavouring to trace back from their modern representatives through successive generations, the original types of the races of Palestine, and the various constituents which go to make up what is called antiquity?

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Devotional Life of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ It has been necessary, for these ends, to consider in some detail all which the Gospel tells us of the Divine Infancy, Childhood, and Youth, and also all which it tells us of the closing scenes of the Divine life. But it has been thought sufficient to summarise the events of the Ministry, dwelling only on such features of it as seemed necessary to the main pur pose of the work. This has been done partly for the sake of reducing the size of the book, and partly in order to present in fewer traits, and therefore more easily grasped at one view, what IS intended to be a Portrait rather than a Biography.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, Vol. 2: Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Compositions From the Four Gospels, With Notes and Explanatory Drawings Now, however, when the hour of the last scene is approaching, it is about the Temple. The centre of a confused and menacing agitation, that the events of the Saviour's life are to group themselves. In fact to consummate His mission, Jesus had to approach the unique focus whence radiates, for the people of Israel, the whole of their religious life. There were to be struck the last grand blows; there was to be prepared the supreme catastrophe. A divine reformer, Jesus came to attack that jealous aristocracy which arrogated to its own profit a monopoly of all doctrinal influence. He would apparently be beaten in the conflict, but this defeat of a day would be the starting point of a final victory and the glory shed on His last hours by His presence in Jerusalem would mightily aid in the diffusion of the truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of the Saviour I have availed myself of the call for another edition of this work to make several additions and some changes in various parts of the volume. None of these are of much moment, except an additional chapter at the close of the work, and the exclusion, from the first chapters, of what was drawn from the apocryphal histories. This change is made at the suggestion of several friends, and I trust will be disapproved by none. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Child's Life of Christ: A Graphic Description of the Birth, Early Life, Pathways Trodden, Scenes Visited, and Trials Endured by Our Lord and Saviour in His Earthly Pilgrimage The following slight and brief sketch is merely the story of the life and death of our Lord. It has been written for those who have not the leisure, or the books, needed for threading together the fragmentary and scattered incidents recorded in the Four Gospels. Of late years these records have been searched diligently for the smallest links, which might serve to complete the chain of those years passed among us! One who called himself the Son of man, and did not refuse to be called the Son of God. This little book is intended only to present the result of these close investigations, made by many learned men, in a plain, continuous narrative, suitable for unlearned reader. There is nothing new in it. It would be difficult to write anything new of that Life, which has been studied and sifted or nearly nineteen hundred years. The great mystery that surrounds Christ is left untouched Neither love nor thought of ours can reach the heart of it, whilst still we see him as through a glass darkly. When we behold him as he is, face to face, then, and only then, shall we know fully what he was, and what he did for us. Whilst we strain our eyes to catch the mysterious vision, but dimly visible, we are in danger of becoming blind to that human, simple, homely life spent among us as the pattern of our days. "If any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man love God, the same is known of him." Happy they who are content with being known of God.

God had no necessity, in order to the conservation or the heightening his own felicity, but out of mere and perfect charity, and the bowels of compassion, sent into the world his 'only Son, for remedy to human miseries, to ennoble our nature by a union with Divinity, to sanctify it with his justice, to en rich it with his grace, to instruct it with his doc trine, to fortify it with his example, to rescue it from servitude, to assert it into the liberty of the sons of God, and at last to make it partaker of a beatifical resurrection.
