Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The People´s Bible, Vol. 1: Discourses Upon Holy Scripture This is not a Bible Commentary in the usual sense of that term. It is a pastor´s commentary upon such portions of Holy Scripture as are of obvious and immediate importance to the growth of the soul in Divine wisdom, and is, therefore, not intended to take the place of the verbal and critical commentaries which so ably represent the latest phases of Christian erudition. Instead of going minutely through any book verse by verse, the first object will be to discover its governing idea or principal purpose, and to make that clear by taking out of the book, say twelve, twenty, or thirty instances most strikingly illustrative of the writer´s intention. For example, some such order as the following (always held to be variable of course) may be adopted: - Genesis: A book of Beginnings: the beginning of Creation; the beginning of Humanity; the beginning of Family life; the beginning of Disobedience; a kind of daybreak book; a wondrous dawn; an hour of revelation and vision. To get hold of this idea is to get a thorough insight into the book of Genesis. Exodus: Phases of Providence: in leadership, in national deliverances, in organisation, in codified human life, in all the mystery of human training and discipline, showing how the tabernacle of God is with men upon earth: a refuge, a judgment, a symbol. To master this idea is to seize the very spirit of the book of Exodus. Leviticus: Religious Mechanics: the Mechanics of Sin-reckoning; the Mechanics of Sacrifice; the Mechanics of Intercession; the Mechanics of Purification; the higher meaning of all these intricate and costly formalities; the unprofitableness of bodily exercise; the revelation and development of true Sacrifice.
