Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Exposition of the Epistles of St. Paul, and of the Catholic Epistles, Vol. 1: Consisting of an Introduction to Each Epistle, an Analysis of Each Chapter, a Paraphrase of the Sacred Text, and a Commentary, Embracing Notes, Critical, Explanatory, and Dogmatical, Intersed With Moral Reflections The following Work contains a condensed abstract of a portion of Lectures which, some years ago, it devolved upon me, as Professor of Sacred Scriptures, to deliver to a class of Divinity Students, in this College. The greater part of it was committed to writing at the time, for the purpose of having before me, on future occasions, a methodical digest of my former studies, to serve as a help to memory, and to supersede the necessity of wading, in each successive year, in order to acquire the same amount of information, through the learned and voluminous Commentaries, which I was obliged in the first instance to consult, rather than with the remotest view to publication. I will not, at the same time, conceal, that in common with many on whom I repose the most implicit reliance, by whose advice, too, I have been mainly influenced in my present undertaking, I felt it to be a subject of deep regret, that the intelligent laity and the reading portion of the Catholic community in these countries were not possessed of the advantage, enjoyed by their Catholic brethren elsewhere, of having in their own language - now, from several causes, become an universal vehicle of knowledge, and unfortunately, in the greater number of instances, of knowledge of the worst description - a popular and thoroughly Catholic Exposition of, at least, the Doctrinal portions of the New Testament. It is hardly necessary to point out, how powerfully a familiar acquaintance with the hopeful and consoling maxims of the Sacred Scripture would act as an antidote against these noxious and baneful works, alike subversive of faith and morals, with which the world is deluged, in some shape or other, circulating through every rank and order of society. The serious consideration of the eternal truths relating to the world to come, always present to the mind of the devout reader of Sacred Scripture, will have the salutary effect of inspiring, instead of a perverse and corrupt taste, a tone of religious feeling suited to those who know from, faith, that in the different circumstances of life, they are but pilgrims journeying on to their true country; that here they are only in a temporary place of abode, awaiting that everlasting habitation, "whose builder and maker is God." - (Heb. xi.
