Christology Of The Old Testament And A Commentary On The Predictions Of The Messiah By The Prophets PDF Download

Excerpt from Christology of the Old Testament, and a Commentary on the Predictions of the Messiah by the Prophets, Vol. 1: Containing the General Introduction and the Messianic Prophecies of Isaiah Tm: basis of the present work is firmed of prelections respecting the subject of which it treats. The author held them with peculiar pleasure, and with the comic, how necessary it is, and how salu tary it would he to Christianity and Theology, for the Old Testa ment to regain its ancient and well grounded rights; and the wish to contribute something to this in a wider circle also, induced him to revise and enlarge his work without intending however that all trap ces of the mode in which it originawd should be efi'aced. Although the author is conscious of having labored with bonfl and persevering diligence, yet he is very far fi'om not perceiving the imperfections of his work. It was the object here, where old and new theological prejudices stand in opposition to each other, to strike out a new path and in the very outset always to find the right course, and satisfy all requisitions, was a task diflicult in itself, and imposai ble Err him to perform. Yd he believes that the work, even in its prunt form, can serve in some manner to relieve the pressing neces sity, and at the same time prepare the way for the appearance of one more complete. He proceeds upon the principle, that before the erection of the new edifice, the rubbish must be thoroughly removed and the ground cleansed hence his work receives an irregular form and a temporal character; but perhaps the author of the more coup plete one, will give him some thanks, when he finds he can now commence the new structure without hindrance.
