The Study of the Bible (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from The Study of the Bible

Sad when it is recollected that the Book to which they relate is one to which we are indebted for more than we can well express; for all our knowledge Of the greatest fact in existence, - the birth of the world in which we live; for the only authentic account we possess of the origin and infancy Of its inhabitants; for all we know about the introduction Of natural and moral evil into it; and for all we can rely upon in relation to the hopes and prospects which await mankind beyond the grave.

Excerpt from The Study of the Bible

In preparing this Work we have simply asked ourselves one question, - 'Why is it that Christian people read the Bible so differently?' that conflicting Sects alike appeal to it as the sole authority for their respective views? that Doctrines the most diverse are supposed to be equally well sustained by its statements? that as age after age rolls on, each coming generation repeats, to a great extent, the opinions of its predecessors, - follows, as a rule, the same lines of thought, - lives nearly the same life, - nourishes the same prejudices, and stereotypes at once old formulas and old divisions?
