Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Joshua
Christ. These secondary causes never could have existed had not Jesus Christ already commended Him self to all sorts of men as a Divine Saviour, sent by God to bless the world. In like manner we maintain that behind the causes by which our naturalistic historians attempt to explain the remarkable history of the Jewish people, there lay a supernatural force, but for which the Hebrews would not have been essentially different from the Edomites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, or any other Semitic tribe in their neighbour hood. It was the supernatural element underlying Hebrew history that made it the marvellous develop ment it was and that element began at the beginning, and continued more or less actively till Jesus Christ came in the ?esh.
Let us try to make good this position. Let us select a few Of the more remarkable occurrences Of early Hebrew history, and, in the language of Gibbon, make a candid and reasonable inquiry whether or not they can be accounted for, on the ordinary principles OI human nature, without a supernatural cause.
