Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Office and Work of the Christian Ministry Truth, born of God, does not change; but the forms in which it is apprehended, and its modes of influencing the mind, are continually undergoing development. The old gospel contains many new systems of theology, and it is capable of producing many new methods of preaching. The human method of presenting divine truth so that it may be received to the welfare of the soul, must be adapted to the soul, and to the soul of an age. Preaching is a progressive art, and in this aspect it is worthy of profound study. Preaching has not lost its power (as some assert) over the human mind, any more than the gospel has lost its power, for truth always demands an interpreter, and the soul always yearns for a teacher in divine things; but there are times, when, from inexplicable causes, preaching passes through new phases and modifications, and in that process of transition its power is obscured. The present is such a period. This is confessedly an unsettled age: theories of society, education, and science are evolved and tested with astonishing rapidity; and it would be indeed strange if preaching did not feel the influence of the breath that has come over the intellectual world.
