Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Soul and Spirit
Philosophers, both ancient and modern, have speculated at great length, and with much ingenuity respecting the origin, constitution, and destiny, of the human mind. But their labours have had no satisfactory result. They either possessed not or rejected, the only way by which know ledge of the subject is accessible. Involved thereby in a labyrinth of doubt and perplexities themselves, it cannot surprise us to find their followers likewise in wandering mazes lost. To other sources of information, and to other guides, those must turn, who would escape the delusions by which their predecessors in this path of enquiry have been led astray.
It is high tme for all who profess attachment to the volume of inspiration, to show that attachment in some thing more than mere words. Respect to God's word con sists not in saying we respect it. Nay, it consists not in examining the integrity of the text and watching over the canon, with ever wakeful zeal and assiduity, like that which protected the garden of Hesperides of old. All this ex ternal respect, all this jealous watchfulness against the slightest corruption or adulteration of the letter of the Old Testament Scriptures, the Jews have uniformly exhibited.
