Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Testimonies, Vol. 1 The existence in the early Church of collections of Testimonies, extracted from the Old Testament for use against the Jews, has for a long time been a matter of suspicion. It was in the highest degree probable that such collections should arise, and their value for controversial purposes was so obvious that they would readily pass into the form of written books, and be subject to the correction, amplification, or excision of editors in such a way as to constitute in themselves a cycle of Patristic literature, the main lines of whose development can easily be traced and the variations thereof from one period of Church life to another can often be detected. They arose out of the exigency of controversy, and therefore covered the wide ground of canonical Jewish literature; but they were, at the same time, subject to the exigency of the controversialist, who, travelling from place to place, could not carry a whole library with him. It was, therefore, a priori, probable that they would be little books of wide range. The parallel which suggests itself to ones mind is that of the little handbook known as the Soldiers Pocket Bible, which was carried by the Ironsides of Cromwell, and was composed of a series of Biblical extracts, chiefly from the Old Testament, defining the duty of the Puritan soldier in the various circumstances in which he found himself, and arranged under the headings of questions appropriate to the situation.
