Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Nature and Extent of Divine Inspiration: As Stated by the Writers, and Deduced From the Facts, of the New Testament Why should revelation and science be such sworn enemies? Why should the battle-field be gradually widening, and the strife growing more deadly? Why? Because men of science have pursued a different course, with respect to their investigations in nature, from that followed by the divine in his searching the Scriptures for the purpose of examining into the nature of Divine inspiration. The geologist has taken spade and hammer in hand, and investigated for himself; he has raked the bowels of the earth, uncovered the hid treasure, and left it to tell its own story. The astronomer has directed his telescope, with untiring perseverance, to the heavenly bodies, and allowed them, in their own inimitable way, to declare the glory of God. But the divine studies his Bible differently: he has preconceived ideas of what a revelation ought to contain, and, in his zeal for the preservation of his view of Divine truth, he has at one time condemned, and at another persecuted, those who have propounded truths deduced from science, because they stood out in contradiction to his views of Divine revelation; and when at last the voice of science has become irresistible, he has endeavoured to twist the Scriptures to make them accord with her latest discoveries. Hence the tendencies of many thoughtful and learned men of the present day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
