A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In order to understand the prophetic writings, it is of the high est importance that one enter upon the study of them with just views of the nature of the prophetic office. An incidental part of the work of the Hebrew prophet, that of predicting the future, has occupied so important a place inC hristian theology, that his general office and the main business of his mission have been kept out of view. Within a few hundred years the very terms prophet and prophecy have acquired a new meaning. VV lien Jeremy Taylor wrote his treatise called The Liberty of Prophesying, the term prophesying was understood in a much wider sense than it is at the present time. In his day prophets denoted public religious teachers, and by the liberty of prophesying, he understood the liberty of giving public religious instruction by speech or writing without annoyance from the civil power, or from any other source. Undoubtedly this general sense of the terms prophet and prophesying is the true one. No term by which the Hebrew prophet Is denoted in theO ld Testament means predicter. He is called inspired speaker, seer, watchman, but never predicter, or foreteller of future events. His office was to proclaim the whole will of Jehovah to the Hebrew people. By public speech, by written history, and by various forms of poetic composition, he aimed to bring the rulers and people of Israel to a right state of feeling and conduct in relation to Jehovah, their supreme national king and moral governor, and to keep them in it. In other words, his office was to make and keep the rulers and people what they ought to be in political, moral, and religious respects.
