Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Guide for Rational Inquiries Into the Biblical Writings: Being an Examination of the Doctrinal Difference Between Judaism and Primitive Christianity, Based Upon a Critical Exposition of the Book of Matthew When about three years ago, the Undersigned took it upon himself, in compliance with the request of his friend and colleague - the author of the present volume - to lay a translation of it before the English reading Public, it was not contemplated to introduce it by means of a "Translator´s Preface," to the favors of its new readers, since the recommendations accompanying it, and the criticisms with which the Original was received, superseded the necessity of adding new encomiums, and multiplying the recommendations. But the "Signs of the Times," that have lately shown themselves also, on the horizon of this glorious Republic, admonish the Undersigned to reconsider his original resolve, and write a Preface. It can not be denied, unless we are determined to offer a deaf ear to the loud preachings and proclamations of history, that the great political bankrupt under which the Monarchies and sham Republics of Europe have been, and still are suffering, and which has led to oppression and persecution, to revolutions and reactions, and their most melancholy results for the people of that continent, has been caused by that unfortunate "Union of State and Church," and its mother, that most absurd of all doctrines, the doctrine of "Christian State." - What is it that gave birth to this latter doctrine? The opinion preached from the pulpits, taught at school, proclaimed aloud everywhere, that whatever perfection there may exist in morals, politics, &c., &c., they can be derived only from the doctrines of Christianity; hence, if men are desirous of establishing a perfect Commonwealth, it must be founded upon "Christian" principles, in other words, it must be a "Christian State."
