Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The True Vine, or the Analogies of Our Lord´s Allegory Comparative Physiology finds in the vegetable kingdom, on account of the simplicity of its structure, the key to the explanation of the higher animal structures - those profound analogies of organization which so strikingly attest the unity of creation. And may we not believe that there is also a Comparative Theology which finds in plants the analogies of the still higher mysteries of the spiritual world? There is surely a deeper reason than a mere utilitarian one, for the dual form - the animal and vegetable - in which organic life displays itself. God has closely connected the spiritual life of man with this strange plant-life, which runs parallel with his own. At the very beginning, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden represented to him all the unexplored mysteries of the moral and intellectual universe, and contracted within the narrowest compass the whole vast, delusive range of temptation. The tree of life was a faithful type, or pictured image of the blessed immortality consequent upon doing the will of God. And when man fell, his altered state was still as closely connected with plant-life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
