Book Description

Excerpt from Thoughts on the Origin, Character and Interpretation of Scriptural Prophecy: In Seven Discourses To the late Senior Class, and the present Middle and Senior Classes, of the General Theological Seminary. My Dear Young Friends, - In compliance with your kind request, this little volume on the Origin and Character of Scriptural Prophecy now makes its appearance. I offer no apology for the publication, as it was within my power to withhold it. But, believing that the Discourses imbodied principles both correct in themselves and practically useful, I felt the less reluctance to acquiesce in your wish, and to give them publicity. I was further influenced by the consideration that the time which, during our divinity course, can be devoted to this most interesting and important department, is so very limited, that the student can hardly get even the most meagre outline of it. And yet its usefulness and practical bearing can scarcely be overrated, especially in the present state of the Christian world.
