Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Old Testament in the Life of Today One or two hands went up. He said perhaps they did not understand the question and repeated it. Four hands went up. He then showed them that he was reading from the Greek text of James! One of the specifications in a charge of sedition against an American now on trial in the northwest is the publication of an arraignment of the government which happens to be an exact quotation without comment from Isaiah! The author has been at pains, even at the risk of criticism for too much preaching, to point out how these ancient men of God are walking our streets, challenging social wrongs, pleading for social righteousness; how God is seeking to do for us what He sought to do for His people of old. And finally, it is hoped that this interpretation may bring relief to some who are still distressed about the results of scientific biblical criticism. We stand here on the Rock of Ages. Inspiration is a vital process. No change in the time-spirit or in the thought world can ever move us. We welcome as helpers the pioneers in every field of research. The new knowledge only makes faith easier. The Old Testament thus understood leads logically up to the New and not only warrants but inspires the most passionate evangelism. For it breaks our bondage to the letter and replaces our shackles with wings. The truth shall make you free." My warmest thanks are due to my teacher and friend, Professor J. M. Powis Smith, Ph. D., of the University of Chicago, for reading the manuscript and making valuable suggestions, to my wife for verifying the references, for help in the criticism of literary forms and in countless other ways which made this book possible, and to The Macmillan Company for extraordinary courtesies.
