Excerpt from The Progress of Revelation: Chiefly on the Old Testament
This volume contains sermons preached in Oxford, Rochester, Edinburgh, Dalkeith, and elsewhere. A certain uniformity may be said to run through the collection, in so far as it illustrates the various ways in which we may connect the Old Testament with the New, and, without assuming any mechanical theory, find evidence of a continuous expansion in the progress of revelation. Sometimes I have tried to preach about a whole book instead of a single text. The experiment has its disadvantages, for one may be tempted to make the subject appear simpler than it really is; on the other hand, our teaching in church, if it is to make any impression, must follow broad lines; the preacher cannot hope to do more than bring out the essential points. The sermons here offered to the reader are not lectures - No. XX. is an exception; they do not profess to be exhaustive treatises; they were delivered with the object of commending the Faith and opening some of the treasures of the Bible to the congregation in church. The trained student will not find anything here which he does not know already.
