Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundation and the Superstructure, or the Faith of Christ and the Works of Man Tions, that is to say, both of the Bible and Nature; the latter including, of course, the nature implanted by god within us, and in His own likeness. For, except as revealed, man has no knowledge whatever of the Supreme Being, and of His relations to His creatures; and by the test alone of His revelations to men must all tenets in regard to heavenly truth stand or fall.1 If then the views which I am upholding can be shown to contravene at all the revelations of god Himself, no one, I trust, will be more ready than I to be so taught. But if only they shall be found to oppose the views of men, that is the very reason why I have been at such pains to give them to the world. For I, and I pray all my readers also, would humbly hearken to the inspired apostle St. Peter when he thus commands: As newborn babes (or without prejudice) desire the reasonable, unadulterated milk (of the word), that ye may grow thereby unto salvation. 2 Or when he consistently tells us, that the sure word of prophecy is the proper lamp for our darkness all through the long night even until the dawn of day; and first, because every prophecy is of public and.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of Christ To avoid repetition. My hope is to be Of some use to those ministers who are still at a stage when they are seeking more footing on such matters than they have been provided with in mere Biblical or Historical Theology. There is no region where religion becomes so quickly theology as in dealing with the work Of Christ. No doctrine takes us so straight to the heart Of things, or so forces on us a discussion of the merits of the case, the dog matic of it, as distinct from its scriptural or its ecclesiastical career. NO doctrine draws so directly on the personal religion Of sinful men, and none, therefore, is Open to so much change in the course Of the Church's thought upon its growing faith and life. Thus when we consider that here we are at once where the form may change most in time and yet the feet be most firmly set for eternity, we realise how difficult and delicate our task must be. And we are made to feel as if the due book on such a theme could only be written from behind the veil with the most precious blood that ever ﬂowed in human veins.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greater Life and Work of Christ: As Revealed in Scripture, Man, and Nature It will be seen at a glance that this is not a life of Christ in the usual sense. It is not a review of the events of the earthly existence of our Lord. There is a greater life and a larger work of Christ of which his life on earth is but a single chapter. While no apology is needed for any publication of the great theme of the gospel, it may be stated that there is a special reason for such a book as this. The author has examined many works on Christ and lists of hundreds more, and has conferred with competent literary authorities, and has learned of few works, if any, covering this greater life and work of Christ. Such a study of Christ should be available. The author presents this, hoping it may in some measure supply the need, and lead to further presentation of this great theme by more competent students. There are still greater and more vital reasons for such a review of Christ. The Eternal Christ is the theme of Scripture, and not the Christ of the gospels simply. Until this is seen, the Bible will be an enigma. The study of the Bible should therefore begin with him who is its Alpha as well as its Omega. This book is a study of Scripture from this standpoint. It covers the whole Bible narrative, not in an attempt to mention all details, but only the great personages, events, and crises in which the person and work of Christ are seen.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Misconceptions as to Christian Faith and Life The central object of Christian faith is Jesus Christ. He is the corner-stone of the Christian system. But what is the foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ? What is the ultimate basis upon which the superstructure of the Christian system rests - the bed-rock of our convie tion of its reality, of its truth, and of our confidence in it? The misconceptions which prevail upon this point, not alone among skeptics and cavilers, but among Christian people as well, are numerous and radical. This fact leads to a confusion and an embarrassment of mind on the part of the latter, of which the opponents of Christianity, ever on the alert, are not slow to take advantage. There are those who entertain the idea that the basis of the Christian system is a creed. This, to their minds, is the final authority by which men must stand or fall in matters of religious belief. If this gives way, or if any article of it fails, the whole superstructure must fall. Than this there could hardly be a graver misconception. A creed is merely a summary of what some person, or a number of persons, conceive to be the fundamental truths of the Christian religion. This summary is not inspired, nor is it necessarily free from error. It is a human pro duction, an attempt to set forth in an orderly way the great truths of the Christian system, which are contained in the Scriptures, but which are nowhere formulated in them. But as men agree in accepting the Bible as a whole who yet differ in their judgments as to the interpreta tion of some parts of it, or as to what constitute its' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ and Humanity: With a Review, Historical and Critical, of the Doctrine of Christ's Person Doubtless the secret of His person is practically dis closed to every true believer, as it was to Peter, by a divine revelation, or inward persuasion below the reach of the reasoning faculty to demonstrate or refute. But the intuitions of faith, while they never contradict, do not always satisfy the reason, or the world at large. Theology, after nearly eighteen centuries Of trial, has not yet mastered the problem, as is evident from the fact that no theory or creed yet framed explains per fectly the facts and impressions of the historic life. The conception of Christ constructed by the logic of the schools is not coincident with that perfect and single image given in the Gospels, still less with that which lives in the heart, and constitutes the practical and nu formulated faith of the Church.

These facts are, Sin and its correlative theory of the Fall of Man; the Person of Christ, His atoning death and Resur rection, and the New Life in Him, which embodies the highest moral and spiritual evolution of human character, and which is the Christian's surest ground for believing in a blessed Immortality; together with such subsidiary problems as radiate from these focal centres.

Compare here 1 Kings x. 5: the Sitt1ng of his (Solomon's) servants. To be saved by Christ Jesus, to believe in Christ Jesus, is much; but to be in Christ Jesus--what can it mean? Surely it is the expression of the greatest nearness to God of which language is capable! The whole sentence, perhaps, may be paraphrased: Placed in a condition of perfect rest, safety, and enjoyment, so near God as to know Him, not as His far-off subjects may, but as the sons of His house, the members of His family. The man who is in this position and knows it, is a delightful person to meet; he is pleasant in manner, he is not tired or hurried or depressed or murmuring. He is seated at home in his own sphere and enjoying it. Hence, with every want supplied, in touch with all-love and all-wisdom, he is naturally utterly unselfish (no praise to him), and is full of strength and courage to fight the good fight, to finish his course, and to keep the faith the warfare, the walk, the witness of the Christian man (2 Tim. iv. 7). But the secret of it all, the source of his strength and untiring zeal, is found in his being seated together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. No murmur is ever heard here, SSnnursin heavenly no doubts are possible here--no dis-p'aces-cords of earth's purblind reasonings. The eye is opened, and the ears; and, the tongue has learned to speak the language of Heaven, so that it calls bitter, sweet; and pain, joy; and all ill, good, --so it be His sweet will. Such, then, is the twofold life of God's child. child, at home now with God in Christ in Heavenly Places, in perfect happiness while fighting the battles of the Lord, or standing at His door and waiting, or treading a lonely path across a wilderness just as it pleases Him. So far we..

This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Development of the Doctrine of the Person of Christ, Vol. 1 The Christian mind advanced along three great lines towards a fuller understanding Of the work or Office of Christ; and to these three great lines correspond the three great Churches the Greek, the Romish, and the Protestant. The Greek Church, seeking after wisdom, regarded Christ as the manifestation of the truth: in its eyes, He was the personal embodiment of wisdom, which, being free from falsity and error, is also free from sin. It regarded Christ predominantly from the point of view Of His prophetical Office, though not without cherishing the hope that, at the end of the days, He would prove His might as a King in that con ict with evil and death, to which the victory gained over Satan by Christ in a supra-historical struggle, which took place outside of the sphere within which humanity moves, formed the pre lude. The orthodox Church did, it is true, cling zealously and faithfully to the divinity and humanity Of Christ; for, in deed, the doctrine that the Son, the eternal Wisdom, became man, forms a part of the true doctrine of the Person of Christ. Subsequently to the fifth century, however, few Of the Greek Fathers were able to give a deeper reason for the incarnation; than that the best means Of exhibiting and teaching the truth - that is, God - was that the invisible Wisdom should become visible. Redemption (in its subjective aspect), and faith, are therefore treated almost solely from the theoretical point Of View, as consisting in such an acquaintance with, or recognition of, the dogma, as implies it to be true. Placing the chief good in knowledge, the Greek Church directed its main efforts, as a Church, during the period when it still displayed mental activity, to giving its dogmas greater precision Of form. The Episcopate was the means employed to this end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Person of Christ: His Perfect Humanity a Proof of His Divinity, With Impartial Testimonies to His Character Blessed is he who from the heart can believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and the fountain of salvation. True faith is an act of God wrought in the soul by the Holy Spirit, who reveals Christ to us in his true char acter, as Christ has revealed the Father. Faith, with its justifying, sanctifying, and saving power, is inde pendent of science and learning, and may be kindled even in the heart of a little child. It is the peculiar glory of the Redeemer and his religion to be coextensive with humanity itself, without distinction of sex, age, nation, or race. His saving grace ﬂows and overﬂows to all and for all, on the simple condition of faith. This fact, however, does not supersede the necessity of thought and argument. Revelation, although above nature and above reason, is not against nature or against reason. On the contrary, nature and the super natural, as has been well said by a distinguished New England divine, constitute together the one system of God. 1 Christianity satisfies the deepest intellectual as well as moral wants of man, who is created in the image and for the glory of God. It is the revelation of truth as well as of life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A.W. Tozer maintained that a theologian’s message must be ‘both timeless and timely’, a sentiment borne out in the fact that his writing on worship still acts as an urgent warning today. Tozer is primarily concerned with the loss of the concept of ‘majesty’ from the popular mind and more importantly from the thinking of the church. He sees the church as having surrendered her once lofty concept of God – not deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge. With this comes a further loss of religious awe and a sense of the divine presence, of an appropriate spirit of worship and of our ability to withdraw inwardly to meet God in adoring silence. Tozer addresses this problem, to go back to the causes of the decline and to understand and correct the errors that have given rise to our devotional poverty. ‘It is impossible to keep our moral practices sound and our inward attitudes right while our idea of God is erroneous or inadequate,’ he tells us. What is needed is a restoration of our knowledge of the holy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel and the Creed Our subject today is the Gospel and the Creed, and I am glad to have the opportunity of addressing some remarks to you on this head, for it is one upon which there is much discussion. Many questions are involved, and I cannot treat them all. Two of the most important, the idea of the Supernatural and the doctrine of our Lond's Person, are in the very able hands of Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Mozley I shall not touch upon either of these subjects. I wish to say a few words upon a matter which seems to me of vital importance at the present time - the function of a definite faith, expressible in definite terms, in the shape of a creed, in the proclama tion of the Gospel of Christ. There has been, as we all know, a prevalent notion that Christianity needs no positive doctrine - no dogma. Its functions are fulfilled if men are virtuous and chari table, and when that is so, it does not matter much what they believe. I greatly hope that this theory of religion is gradually dying of inanition. Christianity has always been, when it is at its best, a missionary religion: it is hard to imagine a more futile programme for missionary work than a Gospel, so-called, without a creed. It is merely homiletic when it ought to inspire with new force and enthusiasm: and it leaves all the real problems of nature and life and religion out of account. The hope of Reunion, which has been seriously delayed by the prevalence of such notions as these, will probably extinguish them finally, now that the task of finding an agreed basis has been at last taken up with determina tion and goodwill.
