Synopsis

Goethe says, that before a reader complains of obscurity in an author, he should examine whether he himself is “clear within; in the twilight a very plain writing is illegible.” “The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.” No amount of light on the pages will compensate for a blind eye. “If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” The Bible should be taken up with the prayer, “Open Thou mine eyes, that I may beheld wondrous things out of Thy law.”

About this title

About the Author

Arthur Tappan Pierson (18371911), was an American Presbyterian pastor with a wide and varied transatlantic ministry that made him famous in Scotland and England. This pioneer of fundamentalism preached over 13,000 sermons in his lifetime, delivered Bible lectures in venues like Moody Bible Institute, and penned over fifty books. He served as a consulting editor for the original Scofield Reference Bible (1909) for his friend, C. I. Scofield and counted as friends such men as D. L. Moody, George Mller, Adoniram Judson Gordon, and C. H. Spurgeon (whom he succeeded in the pulpit of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London).
