Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from "It Is Written," or the Accordance of Old Testament Prophecy Relating to Our Lord Jesus Christ, With Its Fulfilment in the New Testament: To Which Are Added Historical Notices Relative to Ancient Cities, Countries, and People
The writers in defence of Christianity have generally grounded their arguments upon what are termed its external and internal evidences.
By the latter is understood that testimony to its divine original derivable from its own intrinsic excellence; a proof, which a deeper insight into its revealed mysteries strengthens and confirms, so that to an established Christian, the internal proof comes home with a demonstration more powerful and convincing than that which any external evidence can pro duce. The sublimity of its doctrines, - the purity of its morals, - the preciousness of its promises - the justice Of its demonstrations, -and its evident tendency to glorify God and promote the happiness of man, - the light which it throws upon a future state, and upon the way which leads to life eternal, - establish irresistibly the proof that it came forth from God, and is that word, which holy men of old Spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
But this evidence will naturally be resisted by those who are prejudiced against the truths of Revelation, and who, therefore, demand other evidences before they will bow to an allegiance so entire as that which the sacred Record demands, and with nothing short of which God will be satisfied. We will have, say they, more clear and positive proofs that it is of such high origin, before we admit the credibility of a system, which demands every thought to be brought into captivity to the obedience of its Divine Author.
