Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tent and the Altar: Or Sketches From Patriarchial Life In a former volume, not unacceptable to the Christian public, I have unfolded Christianity before the Flood. In the present I have endeavored to set forth the same glorious faith developed under the shining tents, and irradiating the holy altars, which the world´s grey fathers raised in the desert. It is very pleasant to go backward to those days of patriarchal life, and watch the phases of nature - the influences of grace - and the ever enveloping providential presence of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The patriarchs lived in the dawn of the Christian dispensation, and in the youthful days of the human race. Each tent was a little world revolving round its own fireside. Each patriarch was a prince ruling over few but faithful subjects. All of them were among the first experiments of grace in a fallen world, the first proofs of its transforming and elevating influences.
