Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Gospel in Nature: A Series of Popular Discourses on Scripture Truths Derived From Facts in Nature For many years it has been the author´s custom to preach a series of Sunday afternoon discourses on special themes. In the selection and treatment of these subjects he has used a larger liberty, and taken a wider range than is usually allowed in the ordinary sermon. The following book is the outgrowth of this custom, as was also the writers last work, "The Women Friends of Jesus," The church which he serves happens to be located in the neighborhood of the University of Pennsylvania, and is therefore within easy reach of a great number of students, especially in the departments of medicine, biology, dental and veterinary surgery. With a view in great part to attract and influence for good this company of young men, the discourses on the "Gospel in Nature" were preached. It will be observed that they are based almost entirely upon atmospheric phenomena, and the lessons presented are largely illustrated by natural imagery. Every lecture was introduced by a prelude giving a simple explanation of the natural facts or phenomena chosen as a symbol. This treatment in itself proved not only attractive to many who are eager to obtain such knowledge of nature, but was calculated to give all hearers a more intelligent understanding of the spiritual truths conveyed; for it is obvious that a parable or metaphor drawn from nature cannot be fully apprehended without a knowledge of the natural drapery of the thought. A popular style of presenting the matter in hand was, of course, necessary before a popular audience; and this style has been preserved in the printed lectures. In the course of the twenty lectures here published many of the living questions of this era are introduced and more or less freely considered. They are not treated in a controversial spirit; indeed at times they are barely alluded to in direct terms; but those truths and arguments are presented which have been thought best calculated to prevent or clear away doubts engendered by misleading lights of science, literature or art.
