Excerpt from Modern Criticism and the Preaching of the Old Testament: Lyman Lectures Foundation, the Lyman Beecher Foundation Yele UniversityOf the Church. In the Fourth Lecture the line of argument is intended for believers in the Christian doctrine of Revelation. Ihave always felt that for those who believe in the Incarnation the fact of a Divine Revelation through the religion of early Israel, as critically interpreted, ought not to be unintelligible. If we recognise that God was in Christ revealing Himself to men and accomplishing their redemption, it cannot be difficult for us to understand how at first, under the form of a tribal deity - the only conception of the Divine nature of which at the time the Semitic mind was capable - He gradually made known His true Character and saving grace.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
