Excerpt from The Bible True From the Beginning, Vol. 5 Let the reader examine, as did the writer, this early part of Ezekiel.' He will find in it a law Of progress or evolution. The first chapter, as writers like Hengstenberg have admitted, deals with the lower animal Creation. We read of 'living creatures, ' but neither the Adamic Prophet nor any human being has any active part in the whole Chapter. The next chapter begins to describe human beings, and makes no reference to the living creatures. But its first allusions are to human beings who are in an imperfect and savage state. They are compared to briars, thorns, scorpions, rebels, and are said to be impudent and stiff hearted (verses 3 The Adamic Prophet now begins to carry God's message to this savage people. But it is the very beginning of this intermediary prophetic action. The Divine Spirit has but newly entered into him (verse Moreover, as yet, while the Prophet speaks God's words (verse no allusion is made to a written Revelation. But in verses 8-10 we read of a written Revelation coming to the Prophet. This appears to be the beginning of such written Revelation. Moreover this first revealed writing is said to be full of lamentations, and mourning, and woe. Such a description is very applicable to the Book of Job, a Book which ancient Christians regarded as the Oldest in the Bible (orig, Cont. Cels., Lib. VI., 0. From the beginning of 0. Iii.

Excerpt from The Bible True From the Beginning, Vol. 2 Judgement of W orks. The Young Men's Grade is the Grade of Faith. Every Grade has its peculiar words. The words, 'oak, ' 'amorite, ' 'moreh, ' etc., are words of the Heathen Grade. The Servants' Grade has most Grade - Words. They are, for the most part, words denoting actions of hand, sense-actions, etc. They include the words servants, ' 'see, ' 'find, ' 'place, ' 'hear, ' 'work, ' 'do, ' 'come, ' 'ass, ' 'camel, ' 'shoulder, ' 'shechem, ' 'sons of Israel, ' 012, 'with, ' 737, 'this, ' etc. The grade-words of the Young Men's Grade include the words 'young men, ' 'men, ' 'people, ' 'israel, ' Nin, 'this, ' 13, 'with, ' etc. T here are two special grade-laws. First, words of the Grade of Servants are sometimes used with a spiritual application to the Grade of Tongues. It is as when the Apostle Paul speaks of service in spirit, and of service in letter. Secondly, one or more words of the Servants' Grade are sometimes conjoined with one or more words of the Young Men's Grade. This conjoined idiom always betokens either the Heathen Grade or the Grade of Tongues. Still, as the Grades are so far apart, and one pertains to a Fleshly and the other to a Spiritual Realm, We can always see how the conjoined idiom is to be applied. Other features of the gradal-laws are set forth in the work. The writer is well aware that, at first sight, this teaching will seem to many to be foolish, and a striving about words to no profit. It will be said, How can Books of Scripture written by different men, in times far apart, be pervaded by the same gradal lawsp It might be answered, Trees that are not planted together yet follow the same laws of growth; the stars did not all come into existence together, but they are all ruled by the same laws of motion. So, in Inspiration, God has worked all in all. The various Books of the Bible have not come to us at random, like sparks from an anvil, neither is there any rust beneath their shining. They form a Living Word, which has had more of God and of His methodical action in its growth than any living object in Nature's fields ever enjoyed. They who test these Scriptural Grade - Laws, as the writer has been doing for many years, with book after book, and with chapter after chapter, of the Bible, will no longer regard them as foolish. They will rather look upon this Gradal System of Scripture as affording a striking illustration of the way in which God chooses weak things to confound the mighty. These grade-words also constitute an effectual safeguard against allegorical license. They are Divinely-appointed buoys to mark out the course we must follow in launching out into the depths of Inspired Truth.

Excerpt from The Bible-Work, Vol. 5: The Old Testament They pass the thoughts of the heart, comes nearer to the true sense. The imaginations of their heart, in the sense of their wicked devices, overflow from their very abundance. The original words seem to demand this construe tion. C. There is no felicity in what the world adores that wherein God Himself is happy, and the holy angels are happy, and in whose defect the devils are unhappy, that dare I call happiness; whatsoever the world terms happiness is to me an apparition or neat delu sion, wherein there is no more of happiness than the name.

Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

This invaluable tool seriously discusses profound truths that apply to every facet of life. Biblical truth should be made applicable to the total personality. The "inescapable questions of life" are answered from the standard of God's authoritative Word.

There are many books which set out the case for Islam or for Christianity and point out what they regard as defects in the other religion. This book does that, but it seeks to do so in the form of a workbook which groups of Christians or Muslims might use, and it is conducted in a spirit where truth is paramount but so too is kindness and civility. The two authors have become friends and hope that this can be detected in the exchanges. As the major doctrines of each religion are dealt with, we are conscious that these doctrines are important and need to be examined rigorously and charitably. We hope we have succeeded to some degree at least.
