Crossreach Publications: 709 books

As a man can by no means read, except he be first taught the letters of the cross row, even so it is unpossible for a man, of whatsoever degree or name he be of, to understand aught in the scripture unto the honour of God and health of his soul, except he be first taught the profession of his baptism,...

This book was first published in 1870 by Charles H. Hoole (d. 1901). WE owe to the discovery of the Codex Sinaiticus the Greek text of the epistle of St. Barnabas.1 In that manuscript it comes at the end of the New Testament, between the Book of Revelation and the Shepherd of Hernias, with...

It has been said that "all other abilities of the mind borrow from memory their beauty and perfection." In a very real sense it is true that all other faculties of the soul are useless without memory. Of what profit is all our wisdom, our reading, our study if we are unable to preserve the...

I HAVE received urgent requests, especially from evangelists and ministers, to publish another volume of sermons. I am putting forth this volume in response to this request. Quite a number of requests have come for the publication of different sermons preached in The Church of the Open Door in Los...

Innocentius, Archbishop of Kamchatka, the Kuriles and the Aleutian Islands, the ever memorable preacher of Christianity in the extreme East, was elevated to the vacant See of Moscow in 1867, on the demise of the celebrated Metropolitan Philaret.

From the beginning of December, 1856, to the autumn of 1862 I was resident with my family in the city of Munich, Bavaria, and witnessed some exciting occurrences there, an account of which may be of interest to the readers of Professor Beyschlag’s article on “The Old Catholic Movement,” pp....

The great outstanding evil is the widespread refusal of parenthood among all classes except the one where it is least to be desired. England, like France, is choosing the path...

Some years ago I was led to make a study of the Life and Writings of Spinoza, and took considerable pains to present the gifted Jew of Amsterdam in such fulness to the English reader as might suffice to convey a passable idea of what one of the great misunderstood and misused among the sons of men...

The aim of this series of commentaries is to explain the Revised Version for young students, and at the same time to present, in a simple form, the main results of the best scholarship of the day.   The General Editor has confined himself to supervision and suggestion. The writer is,...

Dear Friend: The question of final perseverance, though in our judgment a very simple one, has perplexed a great many; and the questions which you introduce to our notice, and the passages of Scripture which you adduce, furnish abundant proof that your own mind is not quite clear or settled on the...

Now, amongst the numerous hindrances to this thorough consecration of heart to Christ which I earnestly desire for myself and my reader, “the unequal yoke” will be found to occupy a very prominent place indeed. “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what partnership hath righteousness...

Als ich vor sechs Jahren die Werke Friedrich Nietzsches kennen lernte, waren in mir bereits Ideen ausgebildet, die den seinigen ähnlich sind. Unabhängig von ihm und auf anderen Wegen als er, bin ich zu Anschauungen gekommen, die im Einklang stehen mit dem, was Nietzsche in seinen Schriften: „Zarathustra“,...

WITHIN the last twenty years the book of Genesis has come very prominently into view, as the starting-point of numerous discussions. Science and history have combined to lead us back to it.
