Misread Passages Of Scripture Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Misread Passages of Scripture Perhaps there is no passage of Scripture more constantly misunderstood than these simple words; and certainly there is no misunderstanding of Scripture which has exercised a more detrimental influence on the life and development of \the church. The whole passage con tains the very marrow of the doctrine of Christ concern ing His kingdom. It is the basis of its constitution. To this, its subjects have rightly looked in all ages for instruction as to its fundamental spirit, principles, and aims. Words more solemn, more pregnant, were never spoken in this world, in this universe, than these. They were spoken at the very crisis of universal destinies. They form the dividing line between the two eternities. From eternity all things had been working towards that hour - the consummation of the incarnation and to eter nity the influence of that hour would go forth, remould ing, regenerating all the worlds. Beyond any words that have ever been spoken, these words are worthy of intense and reverent attention. They are the words with which the Son of God passed on to the cross, that He might pass up to the throne.

Excerpt from Biblical Expositions: Or, Brief Essays on Obscure or Misread Scriptures It happened on a time that two friends, who had been playing chess together, quitted the board to talk over their last game at their ease before they parted for the night. While they were thus occupied, the following amazing conversation took place between the Black Bishop's Pawn and the White King, who, by the chances of the game, had been left standing on adjacent squares: - Said the Pawn to the King: "I have heard, Sire, and indeed it is the common belief, that we Chessmen are ruled by a Superior Intelligence which controls our movements and directs them to a foreseen end. But that is all nonsense, is it not? and quite incredible to any rational Piece. For, as no doubt your Majesty has observed, we are all of us the mere creatures of law. An iron and inevitable necessity governs all our acts. Though each of us has a movement peculiar to himself, nevertheless that movement is strictly defined, so that we cannot overstep the limits of the rules by which we are severally governed.

Excerpt from An Expositor's Note-Book: Or, Brief Essays on Obscure or Misread Scriptures I need only add that the reader will be the more likely to benefit by them if he will be at the pains to read for himself the several Scriptures on which they are based; and that, wherever he finds any Scripture cited in other words than those of our Authorised Version, he may be sure that I have tried to give the sense of the original Greek or Hebrew more exactly.

The accompanying Sermons on "Misread Passages of Scripture" form part of a series which the author projected, but which through ill health he has been unable to complete. He sends them forth in this imperfect form, in compliance with the wish of the publishers; and in the belief too that the topics of some of them will not be without interest, in the conflict of thought on theological subjects which waxes rather than wanes year by year.
