Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Prophecy, Vol. 2 Thus much is notable and beyond question. It would be unjust and unthankful, as well as untrue, not to allow this. We admit it ungrudgingly, not reluctantly or through constraint. Into much that is true the age has found its way, and in several provinces of knowledge, unreached by its predecessors, it has made good its footing. Circle after circle has widened round it, and its discoveries are certainly neither shadows nor tinsel - they are real and solid. No Christian need fear to make this admission, nor think that by so doing he lowers the credit of the Scriptures as the true fountain-head of God-given truth, or casts dishonour upon Him, "in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." The mental philosophy of the age is, in some respects, of a truer kind than heretofore, though still cloudy and unsatisfying - nay, often stumbling into scepticism, Pantheism, Atheism. The science of the age is prodigiously in advance of former ages. The age´s literature is wider in its range, and higher in its aim. Its arts are on a higher and more perfect scale. Its astronomy has searched the heavens far more extensively and profoundly. Its geology has pierced the earth more deeply and successfully. It - the age, we mean - has brought to light law after law in the system of the universe. It speeds over earth with a rapidity once unknown. It transmits intelligence not only more swiftly than sound, but more swiftly than the light. It is restoring fertility to the soil. It can shut out pain from the body, in circumstances which, but a few years ago, would have racked or torn every nerve. These things, and such as these, the age has discovered and done; and because of these things we may admit most freely that there has been, some things, wondrous progress - progress which might be turned to the best account - progress for which praise is due to God. All that is true, in any region of God´s world, must, in its measure, be valuable. What is true is of God, and therefore not to be cast aside, because discovered by an unsanctined understanding, seeing God has often used his worst enemies as his servants, making them his hewers of wood and drawers of water. The value of a truth is not to be judged of by the character of the discoverer; for why may not God use the ringer of a Balaam to point to the Star of Jacob? The difficulty lies not in discerning what truth is of value and what is not, but in regulating its degree of value.
