A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

SlL MISCELLANEOUS DISCOURSES, IDOLATRY. I HE first great end which is served by a revelation of the being and attributes of God is to recover the worship and homage of His children from those idols to which, in the absence of revelation, all men do naturally devote themselves ;and the best evidence which any man can have that he doth rightly apprehend and appropriate the revelation which God hath given, is that the excellence and beauty thereof hath weaned him away from the particular idol on which his love was set, and reigneth supreme over his whole heart and strength and soul and mind. For as no nation hath yet been found so low and degraded as to be without their idols, nor any nation before the time of Christ so civilised by sciences or arts for example, Egypt, Greece, and Rome as to be above the same prostration of the soul; so we hold that, since the coming of Christ, there is no nation, nor class of men, nor single man, let them call themselves A theists, Deists, or Unitarians, who are delivered from idol-worship, neither can be saved but by the faith of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. This will seem a very bold and uncharitable assertion, if by an idol you understand only that which is fabricated of wood or stone or clay or precious metal, which truly is not the idol, but the image or symbol of the idol.
