Sinopsis

Excerpt from Man Primeval: Or, the Constitution and Primitive Condition of the Human Being; A Contribution to Theological Science

Divine Lawgiver. In him, all these pre-existing laws were re capitulated, and others were superadded. He himself was a system of moral government. Not only was the grand process of the Divine disclosure to be continued in man and by him, but he was so constituted that to him the entire manifestation was to be made. The laws of the Divine procedure, therefore, are here distributed into three Parts, consisting of the end aimed at; the method of attaining it; and the reasons for the employment of that method.

The grounds for the adoption of this three-fold arrangement may be more explicitly stated thus - reverentially assuming, first, that every step of the Divine procedure is related and tending to an ultimate end; it may be inferred, secondly, that the only wise God who seeth the end from the beginning, pursues that end, not improvidently and uncertainly, but accord ing to an all-comprehending method and, thirdly, that the method chosen involves special reasons why it has been pre ferred. For unless we can suppose the Divine Being to be coerced by a necessity superior to himself, or to be bound by the iron mechanism of fate, we must infer that He has intelli gently devised, and voluntarily adopted, the entire plan of his procedure; and if so, it follows that He has done so for reasons, or according to the counsel of his own will. These three parts, though inseparably united, are essentially distinct.

Excerpt from Man Primeval: Or, the Constitution and Primitive Condition of the Human Being; A Contribution to Theological Science

In the Preface to the "Pre-Adamite Earth," I stated that the principles or laws there adduced, and applied to the successive stages of the ancient earth, would be exhibited in their historical development, in a short series of treatises (each treatise complete in itself) in relation to individual man, to the family, to the nation, to the Son of God, to the church which he has founded, to the revelation which he has completed, and to the future prospects of humanity. Accordingly, the principles which were there seen holding their way through the successive kingdoms of primæval nature, are here resumed, and are exhibited in their next and higher application to individual man.

On the day of man's creation it was, that law first subjectively reigned on earth. Prior to that event, the so-called laws of nature were mere modes of Divine operation, known only to the mind of the Creator.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the Biblical creation story embodies the belief that God operates in the world according to a system of general laws, working through a process of historical development from one stage to another. The author sets out the laws of the divine procedure in the creation of the world and of man, and argues that God's moral government of man is a continuation of the same process. The book's insights into the nature of God and the development of the created order will interest theologians, philosophers, and anyone eager to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between science and religion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330754290_0
