Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Historic Origin of the Bible: A Handbook of Principal Facts From the Best Recent Authorities, German and English Other questions concerning the Bible, however attractive or important, should not be suffered to absorb us so completely as to leave no time for the consideration of it? historical origin and transmission; there are few even of the deepest or weightiest that would not gain from its due con sideration both a quickened interest and a clearer warranty of acknowledged truth. As in the case of the one incomparable Life whose gracious advent in the lowly Bethlehem is the beginning of an inspired Gospel, the human origin of the one incomparable Book might be expected to receive our earliest attention: its humble starting-point in the dim past; what signs then attended it; what wise men welcomed it; the process of its growth in strength and moral beauty and in favor with God arid with men. Without prejudice to its higher claims and teachings, rather, indeed, as a true and substantial basis for them, the Bible may, with propriety, be thus considered simply on its human or historical side. And of the two really distinct methods of investigation, this naturally and logically precedes the other. "That was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural." At least, we here present invaluable and urgent facts, directly bearing on the most important of themes. They have been collected from a wide and often obscure dispersion, and, while crowded close into one handy volume, are yet fully equipped and orderly marshalled for instant use.
