Synopsis

""The Second Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ: A Past Event"" is a book written by Robert Townley in 1845. The book is a theological exploration of the idea that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ has already happened, but in a spiritual sense rather than a physical one. Townley argues that the biblical prophecies about the Second Coming were fulfilled in the early Christian church, and that the return of Christ was not a physical event but a spiritual awakening that occurred in the hearts and minds of believers. The book includes detailed analysis of biblical texts and historical events to support this argument, and also discusses the implications of this perspective for Christian theology and practice. Overall, ""The Second Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ"" is a thought-provoking and challenging work that offers a unique perspective on one of the most important beliefs in Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When I commenced writings it was merely with a view to publishing my reasons for quitting the communion of the Church of England. Having enlarged upon my original intention, I find it necessary to affix to this work a few prefatory observations. The substance of the work was delivered in a course of lectures to the congregation which lately assembled at St. Matthew s, in this town. This will account for the matter of the few opening pages, which, had I known how far I should have been obliged to exceed my prescribed limits, would have formed of themselves the preface, instead of having a preface written in explanation. The volume is sent forth into the world as a trifling contribution towards establishing what is much needed a sound principle of Scrip ture interpretation. The truth of every statement propounded is by no means contended for. I prefer no claim similar to that of Swedenborg, I rving, and, in fact, all theologians who maintain that the present is a dispensation of the Holy Ghost. I claim not to have received any doctrine through an immediate and miraculous revelation. So far from asserting any thing of the kind, one position strongly taken up by me Ls, that Scripture is its own interpreter, and that what I have written is only so far valuable as that, in comparing spiritual things with spiritual, I have brought various portions of the word of God to harmonize, and have shown that the Scriptures are not contradictory, wherever I have bad occasion to examine them. It is probabl)9, and more than probable, that some errors in reasoning, and some defects of exposition, may be detected. In the minor details, there may be mistakes; but while making these admissions, I contend most strenuously that there is not a shadow of a shade of error in the conclusion at which I have arrived. I assert in the most positive and distinct manner possible, that the doc

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.
