The Warburtonian Lectures for 1886-1890. The object of these lectures is to give some account of the work of the Prophets in relation to their own times; to show, letting each of them, as far as possible, speak for himself, the contribution made by each to the progress of revelation; to point out the unity in variety, and variety in unity, of their teaching, testifying alike to the one divine Source from which their inspiration was derived, and to the diversity in the human instruments through which He willed to communicate His message. The Prophets discussed in these lectures include: Obadiah, Joel, Amos, Hosea, Isaiah the Son of Amoz, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah of the Exile, Haggai and Zechariah, Zechariah IX-XIV, Isaiah XXIV-XXVII, Malachi, and Christ the Goal of Prophecy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
