Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Rational View of the Bible: A Course of Lectures
The writer is aware that the views set forth in these lectures will strike many as nothing more than ingenious - an exercise in mental gymnastics, to be read, perhaps, as a curiosity, but without any actual bearing upon the subject discussed. If he had sprung upon the world a novel theory of 0 his own, the writer might not demur at such a judgment. But he is in the main stating the con elusions of others, and these the foremost biblical critics in the world. He would also remind readers of this class that these views are not distinctively heretical, since they are largely shared by the author of the article on the Bible in the last edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, whom the Scotch Kirk has tried and not convicted of doc trinal sin, by Dean Stanley (clamm et venerabile women), and by not a few other prominent men in good and regu lar standing.
