Excerpt from Lessons in Old Testament History

I have ventured on no theory of inspiration, but have treated the Old Testament as containing a revelation of God to a people chosen to prepare the world for a yet larger revelation, and to make possible for the future a faith purer and nobler than they could receive. That this revelation was necessarily progressive, and that as each higher stage of development was reached, it was liable to invasion from error and superstition, I have not failed to indicate; but I trust that each lesson will be found to offer to the teacher the opportunity of performing the duty, which must after all be left to him, of showing how the New Testament lies hidden in the Old, how the Jewish was a preparation for the Christian dispensation. That the working out of the Divine purpose in Israel proceeded in spite of conceptions of the Divine character which were often very imperfect, seems to me to be a point that cannot be with too much insistence presented in school teaching. It is to keep this point in view that the proper name Jehovah so frequently takes the place here of the word Lord. The fact that the name found no entrance into the New Testament of itself marks a progress in theological conception, and suggests that there might have been current, among the people who so reverenced it, ideas of the Divine character out of keeping with the revelation of the Father made in Jesus Christ. I have therefore employed this proper name, not only where, as in the great decision at Carmel, the very point of the narrative lies in the choice of Jehovah instead of Baal as Lord, but in all cases where imperfect elements of feeling or belief make themselves prominent; where Israel's God is represented as a national, not a universal sovereign; where His worshippers appear to think of Him as partial to themselves or vindictive to their foes.
