Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ruling Ideas in Early Ages: And Their Relation to Old Testament Faith, Lectures Delivered to Graduates of the University of Oxford The Patriarch Abraham comes before us in Scripture under the following main aspects: -- 1. He comes before us as the introducer of a new and pure religious creed and worship -- new, I say, for though the doctrine of one God was apart of the primeval revelation, it had become much corrupted before Abraham´s time. "Your fathers," said Joshua to the Israelites, "dwelt on the other side of the flood (i.e., the Euphrates) in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods" (Note 1). The migration, then, from Chaldæa was a religious one - the migration of a family which had cast off the gods of its country, adopted the worship of one God, and sought a new home where it might conduct this worship freely. And though the "call" of Abraham is mentioned in Genesis as subsequent to, in St. Stephen´s statement as prior to, the journey from Chaldæa, the whole voice of sacred history declares Abraham to have been, under Divine inspiration, the leader of that whole movement which thus set up the worship of the true God in the place of idols, and separated his family from the corrupt religion of the world.
