Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourses in Memory of Robert Waterston There are three explanations of death, which may be called, respectively, the penal, the scientific, and the Christian. The first represents death as a penalty incurred by sin; the second ascribes it to natural laws; the third makes it the necessary passage to an endless life. The first was the Jewish, or, more strictly, the Rabbinical view, according to which man brought on himself the doom of mortality by transgression; - Adam, in the first instance, by his voluntary disobedience; his posterity, by following his example and yielding to the evil propensity which they inherited from him. Paul seems to have embraced this belief at the feet of Gamaliel, arid to have interwoven it with the Christian faith. His argument in the Epistle to the Romans, in which he shows that more is gained through Christ than is lost by descent from Adam, is constructed upon this theory respecting the entrance of death into the world. The countenance it receives from him does not diminish his authority as an expounder of the gospel, but, rather, lifts into higher importance the inspiration that enabled him to describe in such forcible and fervid language the advantage which the believer obtains in the final conflict. We find little trace of this solution of the universal experience in the discourses of our Lord. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
