Produktbeschreibung
In this manual of Christian faith, Scottish minister and author Horatius Bonar investigates the words of God with respect to the human condition. Throughout the Bible, God's words are relayed by messengers and prophets. In the various dialogues received from the Lord, the views of the divine regarding His creation mankind are revealed. It is through these descriptions that Horatius Bonar commences his investigation of God's correspondences with man; gradually, the character of the Lord is revealed, and his intentions and purposes for humanity unveiled. The event which most richly demonstrates God's connection with human beings is the birth and life of Jesus Christ. Bonar notes the significance of the blood shed by Jesus is connected with the blood shed by Abel during the Book of Genesis. Furthermore the teachings and sermons of Christ reveal God's views on mankind and its destiny. The importance of man acknowledging his own fallibility and flaws - of discarding his insensibility - is expounded upon.
Autorenporträt
About the AuthorIn 1808, Horatius Bonar was born into a family of several generations of ministers of the gospel. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh and was ordained in 1838. As a young pastor at North Parish, Kelso, he preached in villages and farmhouses, proving himself to be a comforter and guide. In 1843, he joined 450 other pastors to form the Free Church of Scotland after the "Disruption." Horatius Bonar wrote numerous books, tracts, periodicals, and more than 600 hymns. He believed that people needed truth, not opinions; God, not theology; and Christ, not religion. From his first sermon to his last, he ended with "In such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh."
