Excerpt from A Plea for a More Thorough Study of the Semitic Languages in AmericaYou need for the fit discharge of this Office accu rate scholarship in the original languages in which the book was written. Truth from God is here presented in particular forms of human languages, which are convert able into others, into all languages only by thorough ao quaintance with the general philosophy of language, and with the peculiar idioms of the Hebrew and the Greek. No unimportant part of your work will be to incite and to guide your pupils to attainments in such scholarship.But further, let me say, this book more than any other, is its own interpreter. It needs to be studied as a whole. No man can fully understand either of these two Testaments, without the light of the other. Each several book, too, brings its own help to the unfolding of every other. So studied there comes out in distinct manifesta tion, a wonderful unity and consistency, which makes a perfect whole of many parts.Human science, too, in all its departments, lends light for the interpretation of this book, which may not be scorned or rejected. Nature is but another book from the same divine hand, and the book of Nature and this written word do ever complement each other in bringing us to the knowledge of God and His truth. Let in the light from this source freely, fearlessly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
