Excerpt from Sermons: Preached in the Chapel of Harvard CollegeThe sense of man's need of a Mediator did not spring up for the first time in Christianity. It seems to have had its origin in a feeling of the distance, the incomprehensibleness, the unapproachableness of the unseen object of fear and worship. Common men were afraid to speak to God, they did not conceive themselves to be in a condition to speak to him face to face. Accordingly, they looked round for some person or persons, bolder or holier than they, who would speak to God for them, - whether to ask his aid, or to acknowledge his goodness, or to appease his anger.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
