The Bible in the Light of Nature, of Man, and of God, Vol. 1: Also in Its Essential Relations to the Religions of the World (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Bible in the Light of Nature, of Man, and of God, Vol. 1: Also in Its Essential Relations to the Religions of the World
The Bible is constructed like the subjects whereof it speaks. These are God, Nature, Man, God. God is first and last and, throughout, All in all. It is a Revelation and Representation of these, or of the absolute appearing in the relative, of the Divine Being in His self-manifestations. It comes forth from the Spirit All Father-Son as nature and man do; and has its Plenary Inspiration and Infallibility from and in the Spirit. Its holy men of old speak as they are moved by the Spirit. It is thus also fitted for its purposes, as to the all-man all-world, and as to God in both (2 Tim. iii. 14-17). The writer can truthfully and thankfully say that he got more of real instruction and true knowledge, in early life, from his godly parents, Alexander Chisholm and Marjory Fraser, than he ever yet got through all other means put together. It is his decided duty and great pleasure to add that the members of the family, Hugh, a girl who died in infancy, John, Margaret, Duncan, Mary, and he (the youngest), were of incalculable help to each other in receiving and mutually imparting the same. The religious Authors who have exercised formative influence on his mind are Thomas Boston (Fourfold State), Bishop Butler (Analogy), and Dr John Owen, Prince of Expositors. How he came to see the essential structure of the Bible is too mysterious and delicate here to describe; and may be equally unnecessary for the Reader to know. He is eagerly anxious that lie and the people should come as much as possible to know the Bible in all that it is and speaks of, as understood and written by the sacred writers themselves; each to know his God and his duty, to know God and Jesus Christ whom He hath sent, which is everlasting life.
