Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mature Man's Difficulties With His Bible
There was put into the hand of the writer some time since a book intended to show that the Bible was defective in its morality. Passages of the Bible, taken from various parts of it, were cited. Deborah's ode and portions of the Psalms were given which, it was said, breathed a revengeful Spirit. Portions of Deuteronomy and Leviticus were also quoted as belonging to the Hebrew code of laws. And these, it was claimed, were not only obnoxious in statement, but were almost barbarous in their severity. Incidents of personal history were also named as immoral in tone and extremely ob jectionable in language. It was said that some things were unsuited for reading in the family, and that no minister would use them as a Scripture lesson from the pulpit. It was insisted upon that these things ought not to be so much as named in a holy book such as the Bible professes to be.
