Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Synopsis of the Books of the Bible, Vol. 3
The Old Testament may perhaps appear more difficult to some persons than the New, and with respect to the interpretation of certain isolated pas sages it may be so but, although the inspired writers of that part of scripture reveal the mind of God as communicated to them by Him (and we can admire the wisdom there unfolded), yet God Himself was still hidden behind the veil. We may mistake or overlook the meaning of an expression, and we suffer loss, for it was God who spoke; but in the New Testament it is God Himself - meek, gentle, human, on earth, in the Gospels; instructing with divine light in the sub sequent communications of the Holy Ghost; yet still God - who manifests Himself. But if the light is brighter, both for our personal guidance and for the knowledge of Himself, it becomes a yet more serious thing to misinterpret these living communications, or to disguise by our own thoughts that which is the truth itself. For we must remember that Christ is the truth. He is the Word. It is God who speaks in the Person of the Son, who, while truly man, manifests also the Father.
