Excerpt from Israel's Hope of Immortality: Four Lectures

One last caution remains. Those who believe that in the Old Testament we have the record of a revelation, partial and fragmentary indeed, but divinely inspired and leading up to the mani testation of our Lord in the fullness of time, will realize that in many cases the statements of Old Testament writers and the ideas which they embody are susceptible of a deeper significance when read in the fuller light of New Testament revelation. Thus, for example, our Lord Himself teaches that the words of revelation to Moses at Horeb, I am the God of thy F ather, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob,' contain implicitly the doctrine of a life beyond the grave, since God is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living We are not, however, at present concerned with this fuller significance which may be read into the Old Testa ment Scriptures. What we have to determine is the character of certain conceptions at the time at which they were enunciated, and the impression which they produced upon those who heard and debated, accepted or rejected them.
