Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Workingman's View of the Bible All accurate knowledge is based on established facts. A conception of mathematics must begin with an idea of a digit or an individual thing. So it must be with the Bible. This fact, it seems to me, is that God, or a First Cause, expressed Himself in the material universe and in the soul; that is, the thoughts and ideas of God are ex pressed in the laws of nature and in the soul, just as the thoughts and ideas of man are expressed in his actions and products. Not that god Is. This is implied. But that God expresses Him self. This is stated. The Bible treats the expression of God in the material universe as completed, while the soul is yet growing and developing under His guidance. The development of this soul is, therefore, the subject of the Bible. Thus I look upon the narratives of Adam and Eve, and Cain and Abel, as portraying the laws of the soul and showing the process gone through in arriving at certain consequences. The further narratives covering the entire Book show the growth of the soul from that condition to its pres ent development, and the complete compliance with these laws by Jesus Christ.
