Sinopsis

Excerpt from Wherin Have We Robbed Malachi's Message to the Men of Today

The finest literature the world has produced, apart from the literature of the Bible, while it will remain interesting for long years - even though the conditions of the age to which it appealed may have changed - will not have a living and practical application to any age save that in which it was penned. The writings of Chaucer are of absorbing interest to English men to-day, because they reveal to us the age in which they were produced, but they have no vital message to the men of today.

In that particular, this whole Book of God is in entire contrast to all other writings. All Scripture written aforetime had a local ap plication, and a distinctive message to the times in which it was written, but it was writ ten also for our learning.

Excerpt from Wherin Have We Robbed Malachi's Message to the Men of Today

In order that we may approach the study of this book intelligently, it is necessary that certain principles of interpretation should be recognized and accepted. To the statement and consideration of these principles this introductory chapter is devoted.

I

Read first in Paul's letters to the Romans, xv. 4: "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope." If we consider that verse in its setting we shall find that Paul, having made a quotation from the Old Testament Scriptures, interpolates upon the general scheme of his argument, a declaration that the inspired writing of Scripture does not exhaust itself in that particular age to which it is addressed. That is one of the peculiar notes of inspiration. Inspired writings differ from all others, in that they are not produced for one age exclusively, but have perpetually a varying application to varying ages.
