Présentation de l'éditeur

The truths of Revelation borrow no authority from the judgment, the invention, or the admiration of men. They stand in their own strength. They shine by their own light. The grandest human intellect can no more lend power to the Original Word than mortal monarchs can provide stability for the throne of Omnipotence or confirm the empire of the King of kings. I ndeed, it is questionable whether the interests of a spiritual faith have not been rather weakened than promoted by the practice of adducirig the testimonies of philosophers and scholars in its support, more especially when these testimonies were so brought forward as to carry only an intellectual impression, or as if it were expected that those things of the spirit which are spiritually discerned can be made credible by any patronage of the brain.
