The Balm Of Gilead: Or The Recovery Of Man's Fall By Redemption (1847)

The Balm of Gilead: Or The Recovery of Man's Fall by Redemption is a religious book written by Thomas H. Holmes and published in 1847. The book explores the concept of redemption as a means of recovering from the fall of man. Holmes delves into the biblical story of Adam and Eve's disobedience and the subsequent fall of humanity, and argues that redemption is the only way to restore humanity's relationship with God. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of redemption. Holmes discusses the nature of sin, the role of Christ in redemption, and the importance of faith in the process of salvation. He also examines the concept of grace and the idea of predestination, arguing that God's grace is freely given to all who seek it, but that individuals must choose to accept it. Throughout the book, Holmes draws on biblical passages and theological concepts to support his arguments. He also includes personal anecdotes and stories to illustrate the transformative power of redemption. The Balm of Gilead is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the concept of redemption and its importance in the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
