Daniel The Prophet: Nine Lectures Delivered In The Divinity School Of The University Of Oxford, With Copious Notes - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The following lectures were planned, as my contribution against that tide of scepticism, which the publication of the Essays and Reviews let loose upon the young and uninstructed. Not that those Essays contained anything formidable in themselves. Hu.man inventiveness in things spiritual or unspiritual is very limited. It would be difficult probably to invent a new heresy. Objectors of old were as acute or more acute than those now; so that the ground was well-nigh exhausted. The unbelieving school of Geologians had done their worst. Chronology had been pressed to the utmost long ago. The differences of human form and of language lay on the surface. The Jews had tried what pseudo-criticism could do against the prophecies as to our Lord and His Church. German rationalism had been deterred from no theory in regard to Holy Scripture, either by its untenableness or its irreverence. The Essays contained nothing to which the older of us had not been inured for some forty years. Their writers asserted little distinctly, attempted to prove less, but threw doubts on every thing. They took for granted that the ancient faith had been overthrown; and their Essays were mostly a long trumpet-noteof victories, won (they assumed,) without any cost to them, over the faith in Germany.
