Book excerpt: Excerpt from Expository Lectures on St. Paul's Epistles to the Corinthians: Delivered Brighton T has been customary with us for more than three years to devote our Sunday afternoons to the exposition throughout of some one Book of Scripture, and our plan has been to take alternately a Book of the Old and of the New Testament. I have selected for our present exposition the Epistles to the Corinthians, and this for several reasons - amongst others, for variety, our previous work having been entirely historical.* These Epistles are in a different tone altogether: they are eminently practical, rich in Christian casuistry. They contain the answers of an inspired Apostle to many questions which arise in Christian life. There is too, another reason for this selection. The state of the Corinthian Church resembles, in a remarkable degree, the state of the Church of this Town in the present day. There is the same complicated civilization; the religious quarrels and differences Of sect are alike; the same questions agitate society; and the same distinctions of class exist now as then. For the heart of Humanity is the same in all times. The Book of Genesis.the examination of orthodox opinions. N 0! Religion is Life, and right instruction in Religion is not the investigation of obsolete and curious doctrines, but the application of spiritual principles to those questions, and modes of action, which concern present existence, in the Market, the Shop, the Study, and the Street. Before we can understand these Epistles, it is plain that we must know to whom, and under what circumstances, they were written, how the writer himself was circumstanced, and how he had been prepared for such a work by previous discipline. We make therefore, I. Preliminary inquiries respecting Corinth, viewed historically, socially, and morally. II. Respecting the Apostle Paul.
