Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Bible Manual: Comprising Selections of Scripture, Arranged for Occasions of Private and Public Worship, Both Special and Ordinary, Together With Scripture Expressions of Prayer, Abridged From Matthew Henry 1. The Scriptures are adapted to the diversified character of man. If we contemplate him as a speculative being, pursuing knowledge through its various paths to the extreme boundaries of human science, we find him reaching after discoveries which he can never attain without the light of revelation. Contemplating his own being, and looking abroad over nature, with irrepressible interest he enquires, "Whence, and what, am I? Who created the stupendous works around me? How did man lose his native innocency, and how can he regain the favour of God, and rest to his soul? If a man die shall he live again?" Pressed by these momentous inquiries, wherever he turns, he meets only with the wary evasion, or ominous silence of philosophy, or the absurd and contradictory theories of false religion. He stoops over the precipice of the future, and glances his eye far and near through its sombre shades, to obtain some glympse of Elysian fields, and bends his ear to catch some report from blissful abodes. With awful suspense, and foreboding fear, he lifts up his voice, and with imploring earnestness repeats the inquiry, "If a man die, shall he live again?" and only echo replies, "Shall he live again?" The Scriptures, exhibiting the early history of the race, proclaiming the Creator of all things, revealing the origin of sin, and unfolding a plan of recovery from its ruin, also bring life and immortality to light, and illustrate their availableness to man by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. These revelations, solving the most difficult problems of man´s condition, and answering his gravest inquiries, are as important as if ascertained by the profound investigations of philosophy at intervals of ages, electrifying the world by their announcement, and immortalizing the names associated with their respective demonstrations. The Scriptures are suited in their authority, as well as in the fulness and variety of their teachings, to the speculative nature of man.
