Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Right Reverend Richard Channing Moore, D. D. Second Bishop of Virginia: And the Beginnings of the Theological Seminary in Virginia, an Address Delivered at the Alumni Meeting of the Virginia Theological Seminary, on June 4th, 1914 History finds its best interpretation in the biographies of epoch making men. In them we see the forces of the past put to test, the forces of their contemporaneous life struggling for the mastery, and the creative spirit which is prophetic of the future made incarnate. In order to know a man we must know the past out of which he came, the conditions under which he lived, and the influence of his life upon the future; for life is the spirit of the past flowing through the soul of man into the future, but ever meeting in the soul of man the great vital and creative forces of an eternal Spirit world, which are incarnate there, to transform and enrich the spirit of the past, as it flows through the souls of men, in order that days that are to be may be better than the days that have been. From those lives which have exerted this transforming influence we are called of God to get inspiration, for they are the witnesses of the presence of His creative Spirit dwelling in men ever making all things new. Thus the past is transformed through the God filled present into the better future, and thus His Kingdom comes. A study of the past which lies back of a man is essential to the understanding of the man himself, because the past creates the obstacles which he is called to overcome, furnishes the challenge to his spirit, creates the material upon which he has to make his impress, and tests his courage and tries his faith. A man´s power to overcome resistance is the measure of the man. The past which lay back of Bishop Moore´s ministry in Virginia therefore claims our attention as a necessary condition to the understanding of his task and an appreciation of his character and influence.
