Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bible in Relation to Agriculture
What meaning can we give to this Hebrew understanding of the well being of the righteous and of the ill-being of the wicked? Can we apply to it the law of causation as it is understood in nature, or does it only mean the direct intervention of the Divine Will? Righteousness, or rightness, is capable of three interpretations: the rightness of the human spirit in perfect communion and accord wih the Divine Spirit, or a spiritual rightness; the rightness of the social being in perfect accord with social welfare, or social rightness; and the rightness of the work er in perfect accord with the laws of nature with which he works, or natural rightness. In this third sense we can trace the operation of cause and effect in producing the well-being of the righteous. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap, is true in the moral realm and equally true in the natural realm. And the conditions of righteousness in either realm are (1) Knowledge, and (2) Obedience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
