Show RELIGIOUS LECTURES. God's Living Oracles: Being the Exeter Hall Lectures on tho Bible, delivered In London. England. In the months of January, Jan-uary, Februarv. March and April, 1S0G. By Arthur F. Plcrson. Published by tho Baker & Taylor Co.. Now York City. Tho author of these lectures Is a Bible man of tho old school; ho ha3 no consciousness con-sciousness of critical research affecting the Bible, but takes tho book as it la, and seeks to prove that It holds within itsolf the proof that it wan Inspired by tho spirit of God. The solo aim of the book, says tho author. "Is to awaken faith whero it does not exist, and to strengthen and confirm con-firm It whero it docs; it Is hoped, therefore, there-fore, both to reach tho honest doubter and to help believers." A certain kind of doubt. Indeed, this work might reach and overcome, but not that founded on an intelligent in-telligent understanding of the Blblo; and surely thoso who already havo faith need none of this, savo perhaps la tho hearing of tho lectures; we lmagino they would sound very well. But Uiey might as well and as easily havo been written fifty years ago as now. |
