Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twelve Lectures on the Teaching of the Bible in Relation to the Faiths of Christendom The following lectures were delivered in Huddersfield during the past winter, and many persons having requested them to be put in their present permanent form, they are now given to tho public in the same spirit in which they were delivered, viz., from a desire to promote the personal study of the Holy Scriptures, with a view to salvation. The author, however, cannot allow them to get into the hands of the reader, without acknowledging his indebtedness to John Thomas, M.D., formerly of England, now of New York, by whose writings he was directed to the study of the Bible, and through whose able and original expositions he was enabled, in a short time, to comprehend its teachings, as conara-distinguished from ordinary theology. He feels himself bound to give this testimony as a merited tribute of gratitude, which he is glad of this opportunity of being able publicly to render. He now commits the lectures to the public, in the hope that they will stir up the earnest among the people to examine anew the foundations of their faith. Huddersfield, 12th February, 1862. These lectures have now been before the public for eighteen months. An edition of a thousand was, in the first instance, entirely disposed of with little or no assistance from public sale; and, tho demand continuing, a second edition is issued, in the hope that they will attain a still more extensive circulation among that class of persons who are interested in the topics discussed, and, in fact, devoutly concerned for their own salvation. It was for this class they were written, that they might be delivered from the grievous incubus of popular error on the subject of religion, and introduced to the sublime and saving doctrines of Christianity, as comprehensively based on the writings of Moses, the prophets, and the apostles. The accomplishment of this object is ail the compensation the author seeks for his labour, and he is gratified to know that it has been attained in several instances, since the issue of the first edition. In the present edition, the lectures have been extensively revised, and in some instances, remodelled; and an appendix has been added for the consideration of certain interesting and important subjects, only alluded to in the lectures. A copious index to the whole has also been supplied, as well as a list of persons in different parts of the kingdom who may be corresponded with in reference to the doctrines set forth. With these amendments, the author hopes the hook, as a whole, may be found more interesting and useful than in its original form.
