Excerpt from On Holy Scripture and Criticism: Addresses and Sermons
The holy scriptures The sacred writings' - which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. - 2 timothy iii. I 5.
The words which I have chosen for my text are appropriate to an occasion upon which the preacher has been invited to advocate the cause of the great British and Foreign Bible Society.
Among the higher privileges which we in England enjoy, and of which, as we look back over the history of the past, we are most justly proud, stands that of the use of the Open Bible in the vernacular.
It is difficult for us at the close of the nineteenth century to realise the intensity of the struggle upon which our Reformers entered, in order to obtain the free circulation of the Holy Scriptures in the language of the people. They were men full of zeal, learning.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a bold approach to the most significant textual dilemmas and questions of our time surrounding a subject most dear to its author - Holy Scripture. The author clears a path through the often confusing undergrowth of criticism, setting out a clear and easily intelligible approach to the Old Testament which will broaden and enhance understanding of the era that created it as much as the words themselves. It covers the differences between Old and New Testaments, the significance of Christ, the use of the Hebrew and Greek languages in the formation of the Bible as we now know it and explores the progressive revelation of God's divine purpose throughout. The author does not shirk the bigger questions either. How do we reconcile the human authors' hands in the creation of the Old Testament with the concept of Divine Inspiration? The author brings his considerable expertise in the field to bear in this book, which is scholarly, balanced and yet accessibly written, offering fresh insights into the Word of God.
