Excerpt from The Spirit of the Hebrew PoetryTo give reality to what had been foreshown in shadows, to accomplish what had been predicted, to expound, in a higher sense, whatever is universal and eternal in morals, to authenticate anew what might have been called in question - these functions were proper to the ministers Of the later Dispensation, and the books of the New Testament are the record of this work of completion, in its several kinds. Yet this is the characteristic of the Christian writings, that they abstain from the endeavor to throw into an abstract or philosophic form those first truths of theology to which the prophets of the Old Testament had given expres sion in symbolic terms and in the figures of the He brew poetry. The parables Of christ - symbolic as they are, but not poetic - touch those things Of the new kingdom Of Heaven which belong to the hu man development of it, or to the administration of the Gospel on earth, or within the consciousness of men singly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
