Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Doctrine of a Future Life as Contained in the Old Testament Scriptures: A Discourse Delivered in Wesley Chapel, Camborne, July 28th, 1874, in Connection With the Assembling of the Wesleyan-Methodist Conference; Being the Fifth Lecture of the Foundation of the Late John Fernley, Esq. The aim of the present inquiry is to determine how far the doctrine of a Future Life is contained in the Old Testament, and to state in brief what that doctrine is. A larger, loftier topic, one more sacred and heart-stirring, in certain respects one more difficult, could hardly occupy us. History, philosophy, science, all have a substantive interest in the question; while for the disciple of Christ, bearing, as it does, directly upon the grounds, the matter, and the sanctions of his faith, it cannot but possess an unspeakable gravity and attractiveness. At the present moment, likewise, the importance attaching to our thesis by its very nature is indefinitely heightened by the keen public feeling which gathers around all Scripture dogma; by the ruthless and often arbitrary criticism, which menaces the ancient glory of the earlier canon of Holy Writ; and, in particular, by the general agreement and positive assertion, on the part of the contemporary Biblical scepticism, that the Old Testament either does not contain the doctrine of a Future Life at all, or that that doctrine is only found there under pitiful pro portions, and with infinite haziness and uncertainty of outline.
