Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Human Life the Scriptures in the Light of the Science of Psychology The historical method of interpreting the Scrip tures is discredited. This book submits a psycho logical interpretation. Emerson evidently stated an axiom in science, when he said: Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena. It stands to reason that no truth, no principle, in the universe of God, is at war with any other; all truths coalesce; all truths exist in unity. To deny this is to deny the divine order that is so manifest in all the works of nature; and of which science furnishes abundant proof. Of course, it is entirely possible to conceive how texts of Scripture might be incorrectly interpreted, though the theory of interpretation was correct; but it would be difficult indeed to conceive how passages of it could be correctly interpreted if the theory Of interpreta tion be erroneous. To illustrate, it is entirely possible to understand how an astronomer might err in the solv ing of problems when following the Heliocentric theory; but it would be difficult to conceive how one could correctly solve astronomical problems when acting in Obedience to the Ptolemaic theory. It, therefore, fol lows that, if the Scriptures are to yield their content, and are to be relied upon as pointing the way of human salvation, they should be interpreted in the light of a true theory.
