Description
Excerpt from A Homiletic and Illustrative Treasury of Religious Thought, Vol. 4: Being a New Edition of Thirty Thousand Thoughts; Or Twenty Thousand Choice Extracts, Selected From the Works of All the Great Writers, Ancient and Modern, With Copious Indices
IN the present Volume commence what may be regarded as the Christian Dogmatic Sections of this work. On account Of the size of this department it was from the first deemed advisable to form a few relief sections. We are glad to state that in the practical working we have been able to arrange all under fewer sub-divisions than was originally contemplated.
In a book of this nature, although, as we formerly observed, the arrangement in each department is more or less under our control, yet the order in which the various parts appear depends in a degree upon the respective times when the extracts are supplied by literary collectors. Consequently some of the sub-sections will be found before, and some after, the main section. NO difficulty, however, ought to occur, since each sub-section is as complete in its way as if it were a main section.
This volume opens with The Titles of God, which embrace all that interesting, instructive, but seldom sufficiently considered group of names for Deity in the Old Testament that are com pounds Of the solemn word jehovah. Although doubtless each of these composite and important titles had received isolated pulpit treatment, yet it was reserved for the late Canon Reeves to publish in a popular form a series Of discourses upon them as a separate department of Theological Study. The effort of this writer was Of a very modest character, and limited by the special circumstance connected with the delivery Of his discourses. The number of thoughts contained in this section, though the extracts are comparatively few, will be found to be Of a wider range than could be practically brought together in any course Of sermons. It is one Of the first aims in this work, to suggest themes for a large circle rather than to elaborate a few ideas which could be used without further painstaking.
