Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Exposition of the Epistles of Saint Paul to the Galatians and Colossians: According to the Analogy of the Catholic Faith A year ago, the writer of the following commentaries published an Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans. The volume now offered to his brethren, has been prepared as a companion to that which preceded it. The three epistles, - to the Romans, to the Galatians, and to the Colossians, - seem to form a group, homogeneous in subject. In them, especially, are treated the theme of the Justification of the Sinner, and the theory of the Spiritual Life. They should be studied together. To feel and know the true scope of the Apostolic thought on those topics, it is not sufficient to have examined one, or even two, of them; since any one of the three is imperfect without the rest. But they should be laid side by side; and compared; and made to illustrate each other. In this consideration, the author finds the basis of his apology for the present undertaking. The contrast is a striking one, between the inner and the outer life of the Church. Within, are peace and rest; but perpetual warfare rages around her walls. While there are afforded, in her communion, the means of grace, and the tranquil hope which comes of assured conviction, the world remains unsubdued, and the battle against error is joined from day to day. And to this is to be traced, what must appear to the casual mind an anomaly, if it do not present itself as an objection - that the history of the Church is a history of everlasting controversy. Her sons have been warriors in their time; and as many as are her saints, so many are her champions. Thus along with the preaching of the everlasting Gospel, and the ministration of the holy sacraments, there runs the strife between Light and Darkness, incessant and implacable, yet tending steadily towards triumph for the right and the true. It is an anomaly indeed: that the array of war should be thus encircling the Kingdom of Peace; that the soul should have rest in the Church, and yet that on the side where lies the enemy there should be seen, not peace, but a sword. The controversies to which we refer may be traced through her entire history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
