Synopsis

Excerpt from Expository Lectures on the Principal Passages of the Scriptures Which Relate to the Doctrine of the Trinity

The reader will find in this book some repetition, oh noxious perhaps to literary criticism. The same texts are repeated in different connexions. This could not have been avoided, without sacrificing fulness and strength of argument to literary symmetry. The same texts are found to have an important bearing on different points of the general argument.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of the publication of the following lectures, 3is to give to individuals and families the means of explain. jing those passages of the Scriptures, which are most often .quoted, to prove the doctrine of the Trinity. Such a book I believe to be wanted. There is no passage in the Bible, which expresses, or directly teaches this doctrine. X; This is explicitly acknowledged by the Catholic Church, -the most numerous, and perhaps the most learned branch Jof the Church Universal. The most intelligent Catholics %put it, with several other doctrines of their Church, on the ground of tradition. The Protestants, who have derived this tradition from the Catholics, and whose principles forbid them to receive any thing upon the authority of tradition, have attempted to sustain it from the Scriptures. They do not say that there is any passage which expressly asserts it, but that there are many, from which it is legitimately inferred. It is the purpose of the.se lectures, to take up these passages, one by one, and show that this inference is not legitimate, that no such doctrine is taught in them, even by implication, that their true import has been mistaken.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
