Book by Briggs Charles Augustus

Messianic Prophecy is the most important of all themes ;for it is the ideal of redemption given by the Creator to our race at the beginning of its history, and it ever abides as the goal of humanity until the divine plan has been accomplished. There is no lack of works upon this subject. They are strewn along the Christian centuries in great abundance. And yet there are very few of them that have more than a transient value; for tliey either use Messianic Prophecy as a sword with which to smite the Jew or the infidel; or else as a crutch for a feeble faith in Christ and Christianity. Tliere are very few of them that show any real interest in the theme for itself; there are still fewer that are animate with love and devotion to this greatest of all subjects. Messianic Prophecy has been too much dominated hj the apologetical and the polemical interests, and the historical and the dogmatic bearings of the theme have been too much neglected. This has given occasion to another common fault in the treatment of the subject. It has not been grasped as a whole and treated by a comjrehensive method. Messianic Prophecy does not come to an end with the canon of the Scriptures of the Old Testament, as is commonly supposed.
