Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Revelation of God and Man in the Son of God and the Son of Man: Six Sermons Preached in Renshaw Street Chapel Liverpool
Action in all His relations with Man. Revelation is not a dissertation in Theology, it is not a discourse or an argument, - it is the revealing of God Himself in what He is, and in what He does, - it is personal knowledge of Him, a knowledge not derived from our own thoughts and meditations, but presented to us by Himself in a living way. A living Being cannot be made known by description he is made known by his personal acts and sympathies, by the living relations he holds with those to whom he is known. Description, indeed, may enable us to realize the character of men with whom we have had no personal communication, because we already have large experience of other men; but God must in the first place be known to as in Himself or not at all, for we have no experience of other beings whose intercourse with us is of the same nature as His. And in personal acts God is for ever present ing Himself to the souls of men. It would seem impossible to evade the recognition of a living Being holding communication with us. A mighty Spirit comes forth from Creation distinct from all that our eyes rest upon. An audible voice is not necessary to assure as that a living God is there. We cannot behold the awfulness or the loveliness of Nature without feeling that a Spirit is moving on its face. And this is not. A matter of inference.
