Considerations on the Pentateuch (Classic Reprint)

Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Considerations on the Pentateuch One of the Laity is warranted in coming forward on the present occasion inasmuch as the author of a book which attracts much attention again and again invites the non-clerical members of the Church of England to give him a hearing. But if we of the unlearned laity are to listen, it is implied that we may use our plain understandings in listening, and, moreover, that if we are not convinced by a Bishop's reasoning, we may express our dissatisfaction aloud. Dr. Colenso says, that 'to the strong, practical love of truth, which is the characteristic of his fellow-countrymen, whether Clergy or Laity, he appeals in this instance.' An appeal, thus worded, fairly relieves those to whom it is addressed from the necessity of showing that they, individually, are qualified by much learning, or by ample professional acquirements, for taking a part in the argument. The ground is not (so we take it) a preserve, to intrude upon which should be accounted an offence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
