Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sacred Scriptures of World-Religion For the student, as books of reference they are invaluable; but for practical purposes - that is, as books of devotion, of devout instruction, or of ethical guidance and suggestion they are unquestionably confusing as well as cumbersome and inconvenient. So much irrelevant matter of mere history, genealogy, inci dent, explanation, repetition, etc, is (quite naturally) included, that they become like metamorphic rocks or alluvial soils, from which much rubbish must be cleared away before one can get at the embedded gold. For practical purposes the gold should be ready at hand and in a convenient form. So for practical purposes the practical instructions and suggestions of the Bibles of the World should be separated from the mass of history, genealogy, and detail, so that eye and mind may at once apprehend their meaning and be quickened by their timely inspirations. The want of such a selection is widely felt by all catholic-spirited ministers in Pulpits, teachers in Sunday-schools and in Day-schools, parents in Homes, and individuals in hours of Devotion. To answer this want, in some measure at least, this volume has been prepared. From the Bibles of the World all has been selected that seems of practical value, for purposes either of moral instruction or of devout inspiration. May these selections stand as confirmations of the truth and beauty of all Divine Revelations and, at the same time, bear living testimony to the fact that, In times past the Eternal One has not left Himself without a witness in any nation; but' hath from time to time raised up prophets among them all such as they were able to hear. As to the selections made and parts omitted, it is inevitable that a compiler of any sort can never hope to satisfy the taste and judgment of all. What one would retain another would reject; what one would reject, another would retain. Some would retain all, and some would reject all. So, on his own taste and judgment must every compiler rely; and, especially in such a serious matter as attempting to tamper with Sacred Writ must one be prepared for criticism, and for finding that personal satisfaction and benefit are the only compensation to be received from even one's most studious and devout labors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sacred Scriptures of the World: Being Selections of the Most Devotional and Ethical Portions of the Ancient Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, to Which Have Been Added Kindred Selections From Other Ancient Scriptures of the World The compiler of this volume may here be permitted to make some per sonal explanations with reference to his fitness to undertake so great a work as that which he has ventured to assume, and the general methods he has adopted. From childhood he has been unusually familiar With the Bible. Very early in life he committed to memory large portions Of it. In college, in theological schools, and during the many studious as well as busy years of a clergyman's life which have followed, the Bible has unceasingly been his book Of books. He has also during these years, from opportunities as pastor and preacher in country as well as in city parishes; from opportunities also Of wide and various associations, both in America and in Europe, With people Of all grades Of intellectual and theological appreciations, sought to arrive at just and Wise conclusions as to the relative worth of the various parts Of the Bible with reference to the views and needs, not only Of people in general, but of the more intelli gent and critical Classes in particular. With so much Of early and Of continued preparation to recommend him to the task, or at least to recommend the task to him, he began about six years ago to devote his leisure hours to gathering and arranging the materials for this volume chiefly that he might have it for his own use in his own home, pulpit, and congregation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religions of the World It has been suggested that a list of books Should be appended for the sake of those who desire to pursue the fascinating study of comparative religion, but though this would be easy it seems unnecessary. The books which would suit one class of readers would be quite unsuitable for another class. It may, indeed, be well to point out here that, just as the best way to become acquainted with Christianity is to read the Bible, so those who would know the religions of the East, at anything like first hand, should read the Sacred Books of the East (clarendon Press), which have been so well translated into English in our day. This, however, would be too serious an undertaking for the average man. Failing this best way, there is no better series to read than that of the non-christian Religious Systems, published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biblical World, Vol. 48 While these words are being written, the nation is on the brink of w'ar with Mexico. When they arc read, hostilities may have begun. If so, Christian people in the United States, like those in warring Europe, will be testing the sincerity of their professed loyalty to Jesus. A state of war does not disprove the existence of a moral order. In this we must still live, and to it we must still give our allegiance. Military exigencies do not permit us to repudiate the ideals of Jesus. A nation at war ought relentlessly to question its own motives and ambitions, its own past and its desired future. War in Mexico, if it be regarded as a phase of international police service, will be both defensive and vicarious. For years we have refused to intervene because we did not believe we were justified in intervening. Whatever the future may have in store for us, we have the record of this much self-restraint under unbelievable provocation. That all our past dealings with Mexico have been beyond reproach we do not need to argue. We ask neither justification for our mistakes and our wrongdoings nor praise for our patience. What we have written, we have written. The future must pass judgment. Let the nation without sin present the first protest. The immediate duty of every Christian who is loyal to the ideals of peace is to separate peace as a world-policy from police duty thrust upon us by conditions we have not controlled and, despite national patience, could not control. Jesus never condemned national self-protection. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biblical Epochs We are finding that the old Bible is ours; that its truthfulness is confirmed and authenticated by the results of discovery and scholarship. More and more it is proved to be our own bible - the one Sacred Book of the world. Its words, sound ing down all the centuries, freighted with the joys and griefs and exultant hopes and victories of saints through the past millenniums, vocal ever with the songs of angels, and full of the expression of the Son of God, are proved to be the very Word of God. The Bible is the stronghold of Chris tianity. All antagonisms smite at it, would gladly destroy it. It stands impregnable, the same old Bible, with the memory of the dead in it, with the warm love of childhood in it with the woe of our trials reverberating in its melancholy experience, and the joys of our better days ringing in its psalms and prophecies, like chimes of musical bells above the lower life. Its voices are like choice music which one cannot forget; its prom ises are like faces that ever beam upon us in their remembered expression; it is like a life within our life, warming and refreshing and invigor ating us.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A General Introduction to the Study of Holy Scripture We live in an age of great activity. It is also an age Wherein material progress and the love of worldly pleasure tend to enfeeble man's hold on the supernatural world. It is most evident that there is a general movement away from the spiritual world. In non-catholic thought the idea of a reduced Christianity is dominant. A mere natural religion recommends itself to many. The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them because they are spiritually examined. [i. Cor. II. Instead of accepting religion as a mysterious message from Heaven, men make a religion that is not religious. A religion is sought that will not interfere with man's worldly tastes and pleasures. Human reason is made the judge of all the works of God. Arianism is recrudescent under another name and formula. The mystery of Christ's Divinity, the miracles of the Bible, the extraordinary action of God in the Revelation and Inspiration of the Scriptures are made the special objects of attack in this modern fashion of thought. That which is most deplorable is that this tendency has in some degree invaded the minds of some Catholic scholars. Clear calls of warning come from Christ's Vicar; the danger is grave. The demon of unbelief finds strong allies in the pride and rebellion of fallen human nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Harmony of Divine Truth How it can be accounted for, that the term truth should have been selected by the inspired writers, (or rather by the Spirit Of inspiration.) to distinguish the religion which they exhibit, from every other system in the world, if at the same time they had considered it as a mere moral chaos, made for our plastic hands to mould and shape into such creeds as should please every man's own fancy? It is worthy to be noted that the sacred volume makes a very copious* use of this term, applying it to every department Of religion. For itself, as an inspired book, it claims the honor Of being called the scripture of truth, and the word of truth. Dan. X. 21. Eph. I. 13. Is not the Bible thus manifestly distinguished from the Koran of the Mahometan's, and the Shasters Of the Brahmins, and from every other book which sets up a claim to inspiration? The God of the Bible is called the true God, his beloved Son is called the true Witness, and his Holy Spirit the Spirit of truth; and why, except to distinguish Jehovah from idols, his Son from false Christs, and the Holy Ghost from Satan, and every other lying spirit? The doctrines we are required to believe, are denominated the truth, to distinguish them from the doctrines of devils, and from delusive errors of every kind; and the belief of these doctrines, when it is wrought in our hearts by the Spirit Of God, is said to be truth and no lie, to distinguish it from a false faith which does not work by love. Also, that conduct which is required by the divine law, and which is the external expression of a heart conformed to it, is called obeying the truth. 1 Tim. Ii. 4. 1 John ii. 27. 2 John 4. The church of the living God, when considered as a community, composed Of men redeemed from iniquity, is called the pillar and ground Of the truth. 1 Tim. Iii. 15. See also Isa. Xxvi. 2. What an importance does it give to religious truth when we hear Christ Jesus witnessing this good confession before Pontius Pilate! TO this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. John xviii. 37. Surely that must be a thing Of no small consequence, the establishment of which was the end of our Redeemer's birth, and the sole cause why he came into the world.
