Présentation de l'éditeur
The Dissertations which are here reprinted turn principally on the Author smethod of interpreting Scripture. They indicate the point of view from which he looked upon the sacred writings, both in themselves, and in their possible applications to human life in its religious aspect. With the exception of the first Essay, which is of general significance, they formed part of his edition of St. Paul s Epistles to the Thessalonians, Galatians and Romans (1855-1859). The Essay on I nterpretation, though it appeared afterwards (1860) as a contribution to the volume known as Essays and Reviezcs, consists of a series of observations which had occurred to the writer in the course of the same long-continued labour. This Essay contain the noble sentences to print them twice within the limits of the same volume can hardly be superfluous :W hen interpreted like any other book, by the same rules of evidence and the same canons of criticism, the Bible will still remain unlike any other book; its beauty will be freshly seen, as of a picture which is restored after many ages to its original state; it will create a new interest and make for itself a new kind of authority by the life which is in it. ..
