Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Saviour's Estimation of the Writings of Moses, Shewn in His Own Use of Them: A Sermon, Preached at St. Anne's Bedehouse Chapel, Lincoln, on Sunday, November 23rd, 1862
Thirdly, which is of considerable importance. Such testimony is especially weighty in favour of a writing, if the circumstances brought forward as truth, are such as we might naturally be most disposed to doubt of, from their unlikelihood or other causes. For, if these are testi fied to as truths, much more can we have no reason to doubt of circumstances and events, not at all in themselves unlikely or incredible.
Fourthly, that when our Blessed Saviour refers to a writing as Divine Truth, or, in other terms, the Word of God, this alone forbids us to entertain the notion that a considerable part of it, even if true, is only the Word of Man, a merely human composition. For, how derogatory is it to the wisdom of God, how inconsistent with a Reve lation from Himself, to suppose Him to use a writer, and inspire him to be His penman, whom He would leave to mix up with His inspired communications, in one writing, his own human thoughts and conceptions; not to say, his own errors, inventions, and fables.
Now let us, keeping in mind the above remarks, look at Our Lord's use of the historical events and circumstances recorded by Moses.
