Excerpt from Inaugural Addresses
Let us, first, consider the Old Testament merely as a literary treasure. It will be conceded, I think, 'without question, that fine Hebrew Scriptures furnish us more ex alted strains of poetry and specimens of more impassioned eloquence than any other sacred book in the world, not ex cepting the New Testament. Even the profound and bean tiful thoughts so characteristic of the Gospel of John are found for substance in the Hebrew Psalms and Prophets; and John's Apocalypse, the most gorgeous and artistic of all works of its class, contains scarcely a figure or symbol which is not borrowed from the older scriptures.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the religious history and beliefs of the descendants of Abraham, as embodied in the Old Testament. The Hebrew Revelation, as it is referred to, holds divine authority, and is considered not only sacred but a literary and historical treasure. The author aims to reveal that the ancient Hebrew revelation contains the substance of the New Testament, and that no essential truth or doctrine found in the New Testament is absent from the older Scriptures. The book explores the idea that the highest and holiest lessons taught by Jesus, including the twofold commandment of love, are found in some form in the Old Testament. The author asserts that the Hebrew revelation is a vast mine of archaeological and historical wealth, embodying more solid information concerning the origin of nations than any other monument of the past. This book aims to provide a deeper understanding of the Old Testament, its morality, and divine revelation, arguing that it is an essential part of understanding the New Testament and the Christian faith as a whole.
