Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Isms Old and New: Winter Sunday Evening Sermon-Series for 1880-81 Delivered in the First Baptist Church, Chicago While it is preeminently the duty of the pulpit to expound the doctrines and precepts of Holy Writ, there are times when it should confront and challenge the insidious errors which unfit the public mind to receive attentively and believingly its expositions. Exegesis, however eloquent and elaborate, will be as powerless, morally and religiously, as the learned interpretations of dusty Egyptian hieroglyphics, if confidence is seriously impaired in the Divine origin of the Book whose teachings it seeks to unfold. The unclean spirit must be cast out, and the house be swept and garnished, before the spirit of truth will find there a welcome and a sure asylum. We invite the wayward to accept Christ and be saved, and when we chide them for not doing so, we frequently overlook the fact that they are in sympathy with forms of thought which are irreconcilable with the claims of that volume on whose authority rests the duty so earnestly enjoined. Hamilton says, "Plato in his Phædo demonstrated the immortality of the soul from its simplicity; and in the Republic demonstrated its simplicity from its immortality," a species of reasoning still in vogue, and by many highly esteemed, but which is utterly inadequate to meet the subtle and protean infidelity of our age. Never will its enthusiastic course be arrested, nor its illusions be dispelled, nor the asbestos fire it is kindling be quenched, and the Gospel achieve its triumph over both head and heart until, abandoning the petitio principii in our methods, we fight the enemy with its own weapons, and prove at least that it is not invulnerable. This conviction led to the preparation of the accompanying sermons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
