Twenty-Four Sermons: Preached in All Souls Church, New York, 1865-1881 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Twenty-Four Sermons: Preached in All Souls Church, New York, 1865-1881
HE terms used in the New Testament con cerning spiritual things require a courageous translation into their equivalent modern phrases. Nothing can be more perversive of their true sig nificance than to insist in forcing our later and fuller-grown intelligence and moral experience back into the letter of the phrases which were appro priate and expressive of the thoughts of the sacred writers. It is not merely that the Apostles and Evangelists used words that no longer convey to us the thoughts they were urging upon contemporaries; but the thoughts themselves were often not such as we can now honestly entertain. It is only the principles of Which their thoughts were the local or timely expression that we can consider permanently the same and equally important now as then. The term salvation is one of the significant words on which they dwelt with peculiar emphasis.
