Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commentary on St. Paul´s Epistle to the Romans, Vol. 1 The least obscuration of the divine mind, communicated to the world by means of apostolical revelation, has for its immediate effect a diminution of spiritual life and strength. Must the church of France, in particular, lose the best part of its strength at the very moment when God seems at length to be bringing France into its arms? This would be the last tragedy of its history - sadder still than all the bloody but heroic days of its past. It is neither the empty affirmations of free thought, nor the vague teachings of a semi-rationalism, - which does not know itself whether it believes in a revelation or not, - which will present a sufficient basis for the religious elevation of a whole nation. For there is needed a doctrine which is firm, positive, divine, like the gospel of Paul. When the Epistle to the Romans appeared for the first time, it was to the church a word in season. Every time that, in the course of the ages, it has recovered the place of honour which belongs to it, it has inaugurated a new era. It was so half a century ago, when that revival took place, the powerful influence of which remains unexhausted to this hour. To that movement, which still continues, the present commentary seeks to attach itself. May it also be in some measure to the church of the present a word in season! I may be justly charged with not having more completely ransacked the immense library which has gradually formed round St Paul´s treatise. My answer is: I might have... but on condition of never coming to an end. Should I have done so? And as I have been obliged to set a limit to my study, I have been obliged to restrict also the exposition of the results of my labour. If I had allowed myself to cross the boundaries of exposition properly so called, to enter more than I have sometimes done into the domain of dogmatic developments, or into that of practical applications, the two volumes would have been soon increased to four or six.
