Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Collection of Thoughts; Or Key to Scripture: An Explanation of the Old and New Testaments, According to Reason, Nature and Existing Facts
We do not know of a subject about which so much has been written as that of Biblical Theology. The belief of the public is that to write a book now in explanation of the Bible, would be as useless as the pouring of a measure of water into the Mississippi for the purpose of raising a large ocean sailing vessel greatly overloaded, that had been run into its mouth and stranded.
The boat cannot ?oat in a river, and the first thing to be done for the purpose of raising her, is to relieve her from her freight and then, if possible, bring her back to the wide and bottomless ocean again.
