Discourses On Prophecy Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Discourses on Prophecy The plan of these Discourses is to treat the prophecies in accordance with the analogy of faith; and show in the prophetical records the unfoldings of the eternal purpose of God in the salvation of mankind by Jesus Christ. It is observable that those who have written on the prophecies have in general so far lost sight of their connexion with the scheme of Redemption, that one would scarcely suppose from the perusal of their works that there was any such connexion, or if any, that it was a very intimate one. Pro phecies are commonly considered as detached subjects, which, for all that appears to the contrary, might possibly have been omitted in the Divine Revelation without injury to the main design. Hence many ministers of the gospel excuse their inattention to this subject as if it were a dis tinct branch of Biblical science, unimportant to a proper understanding of Theology, and unnecessary to the qualifi cation and work of a Christian ministe And some seem to despise it, as if it were the very essence of fanaticism, and unworthy of investigation, in comparison with a sort of spiritual knowledge which they affect. It is my aim to present such a view of the prophecies, as will remove this erroneous impression, wipe off the stigma imputed to the subject, and make it not only an intggegtipg and profitable but also an indispensable study to the minister of the word of God, and'indeed to every one who wishes to understand what is the mystery Of the kingdom of God. If I fall short of this object, the failure must be attributed to the want of skill in the writer, and not to any lack of merit and import ance in the subject.

Excerpt from Thoughts on the Origin, Character and Interpretation of Scriptural Prophecy: In Seven Discourses To the late Senior Class, and the present Middle and Senior Classes, of the General Theological Seminary. My Dear Young Friends, - In compliance with your kind request, this little volume on the Origin and Character of Scriptural Prophecy now makes its appearance. I offer no apology for the publication, as it was within my power to withhold it. But, believing that the Discourses imbodied principles both correct in themselves and practically useful, I felt the less reluctance to acquiesce in your wish, and to give them publicity. I was further influenced by the consideration that the time which, during our divinity course, can be devoted to this most interesting and important department, is so very limited, that the student can hardly get even the most meagre outline of it. And yet its usefulness and practical bearing can scarcely be overrated, especially in the present state of the Christian world.
