Our Bible is of God; yet it is also of man. It is both divine and human. It comes to us from God’s Spirit; it comes also from man’s spirit. It is written in the language of earth, yet its words are the words of Him “who speaketh from heaven.” Natural, yet supernatural; simple, yet profound;...

This first verse of Matthew’s Gospel contrasts strikingly with the first verse of John’s; this human pedigree of the Son of God reads strangely when placed side by side with, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Yet it all the more exhibits the...

IS ROMAN CATHOLICISM BIBLICAL? We are desirous in this article of proving from Rome's own statements that her system of teaching is both unscriptural and false. Let her own mouth condemn her, “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” (Matt 12:37).

THE title of the present series is a sufficient indication of its purpose. Few preachers, or congregations, will face the long courses of expository lectures which characterised the preaching of the past, but there is a growing conviction on the part of some that an occasional short course, of six...

men stand most in need of, is the knowledge of God. They know, to be sure, by dint of reading, that history gives an account of a certain series of miracles and marked providences; they have reflected seriously on the corruption and instability of worldly things; they are even, perhaps, convinced...

The editor of The Times has asked me to reply to Mr. Bryan's statement on "God and Evolution." I do so, if only to voice the sentiments of a large number of Christian people who in the name of religion are quite as shocked as any scientist could be in the name of science at Mr. Bryan's sincere...

It is not my intention in this brief note to discuss the fact of Peter’s presence in Rome. That he found his way thither in the latter part of his life, and met his death there, is now so generally recognized among scholars that it would be gratuitous to argue the matter. But though the fact itself...

This book is not a life of Christ, nor an exposition of his religious teachings, nor a doctrinal statement about his person and work. It is an attempt to formulate in simple propositions the fundamental convictions of Jesus about the social and ethical relations and duties of men. Our generation...

Agreement has marked the evangelic faith always and everywhere in two things—(l) The Lord will return in His glorified humanity, and—(2) All nations shall ultimately constitute His Kingdom. That return is called the second advent, and the period of that universal Kingdom the millennium (or, after...

At a congratulatory lunch given me on the occasion of my ministerial Jubilee I spoke of some of the famous men whom I had met and come to know in the course of the fifty years. They were men who belonged to an earlier generation than those who were gathered to do honour to me that day, and, to most...

SOME will have it, that all philosophy is vain; and that the time bestowed upon it, in our colleges and elsewhere, is only wasted, or worse than wasted in the pursuit of a phantom that can never be reached, while it leads us away continually from the proper use of life. What men need in this world,...

There are few subjects which have given rise to more difficulty and perplexity than that of regeneration, or the new birth. Very many who are themselves the subjects of this new birth are at a loss to know what it is, and filled with doubt as to whether they have ever really experienced it. Many there...

“He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.” Acts 1:3 Easter morning is the beginning of a unique and most tenderly interesting portion of our blessed Saviour’s life....

Chrysostom preached another sermon on this topic, which was similar in some respects, but less finished and less beautiful. That sermon is included in the Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church (First Series, Vol. VII, pp. 258–62) edited by Philip Schaff. John...
