Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Apocryphal Books of the Old Testament Proved to Be Corrupt Additions to the Word of God: The Arguments of Romanists From the Infallibility of the Church and the Testimony of the Fathers in Behalf of the Apocrypha, Discussed and Refuted The history of the present publication is soon told. Some time in the year 1841 I wrote, at the special request of a friend in Baltimore, Rev. Dr. Breckenridge, a short essay on the claims of the Apocrypha to Divine Inspiration. This was printed anonymously in the Baltimore Visiter, as No. V. of a series of articles furnished by Protestants, in a controversy then pending with the domestic chaplains of the Archbishop of Baltimore. From the Visiter it was copied into the Spirit of the Nineteenth Century, some time during 1842. From the Spirit of the Nineteenth Century it was transferred, by the editor of the Southern Chronicle, a valuable newspaper published in this place, to his own columns, and without consulting me, or in any way apprising me of his design, he took the liberty, having ascertained that I was the author, to append my name to it. Seeing it printed under my name, and, as he might naturally suppose, by my authority, Dr. Lynch, a Roman Catholic Priest of Charleston, of reputed cleverness and learning, no doubt regarded it as an indirect challenge to the friends of Rome to vindicate their Mistress from the severe charges which were brought against her. He accordingly addressed to me a series of letters, which the members of his own sect pronounced to be very able, and to which the following dissertations (for though in the form of letters they are really essays) are a reply. The presumption is that the full strength of the Papal cause was exhibited by its champion; and that the reader may be able to judge for himself of the security of the basis on which the inspiration of the Apocrypha is made to depend, I have given the substance of Dr. Lynch´s articles in the Appendix.
