9780371904121: A Concise View Of The Scriptures, Shewing Their Consistency, And Their Necessity

Synopsis

A Concise View Of The Scriptures, Shewing Their Consistency, And Their Necessity, From An Examination Of The Extent Of Natural Knowledgeoffers a thorough, polemical account that the Scriptures reveal knowledge beyond what the natural mind can discern. It argues that human reason, guided by observation of nature, yields uncertainties and fears in the absence of revelation, and that true understanding comes from the Scriptures, which describe two fundamental principles in humanity: a rational mind and the malign passions that can enslave it. The work traces the Fall, the degeneration of the first created in the image of God, and the need for regeneration through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to restore mankind to purity. It presents a biblical narrative from Genesis to Revelation, including the Mosaic law’s role, the atonement, the descent of the Word, and the promise of a future judgment and new creation. It culminates in the vision of a perfected spiritual order through Christ, the Spirit, and the ultimate triumph of good over evil.
