Excerpt from Mighty in the Scriptures: A Memoir of Adolph Saphir
The life of Dr. Saphir was one of remarkable interest, not so much in its variety of incidents, as in its early associations, and in the striking personnel of the man. This is seen in his thorough Jewish type of mind and intellect, intensified by the genius of the Saphir family, in the freshness and originality of his ideas and expressions, and above all, in his spiritual power - his deep insight into the meaning of Scripture and the relations of its different parts.

Excerpt from Mighty in the Scriptures: A Memoir of Adolph Saphir
T has been impossible to publish sooner the Memoir of the lamented Dr. Adolph Saphir. On account of his sudden death, which followed so closely that of his wife, there was a delay in the settlement of his affairs; and, consequently, no access could be had to documents of any kind till about the middle of last year - a year after his death. When I was then asked to write the Memoir, much time and labour were required to collect letters and documents from friends and correspondents of Dr. Saphir. But though there has consequently been delay, the Memoir will, I believe and hope, be not less valued by devoted friends, of whom he had very many, nor less interesting to the general public.
The life of Dr. Saphir was one of remarkable interest, not so much in its variety of incidents, as in its early associations, and in the striking personnel of the man. This is seen in his thorough Jewish type of mind and intellect, intensified by the genius of the Saphir family, in the freshness and originality of his ideas and expressions, and above all, in his spiritual power - his deep insight into the meaning of Scripture and the relations of its different parts.
The expression, Mighty in the Scriptures, truly describes him. In his commanding knowledge of the spirit and purport of the various books of the Bible, few preachers of his own or any age approach him. He fore shadows in this What great results may be anticipated from the promised restoration of Israel.
We append to the Memoir three carefully chosen Sermons delivered at the three different spheres of his ministry - Greenwich, Blackheath, and Belgravia; also a Selection of Pithy Sayings and Short Extracts. These Sermons and almost all the Extracts are published for the first time.
As to Dr. Saphir's social characteristics, one who had known him for a quarter of a century describes him thus accurately: His visits were increasingly appreciated in our family, revealing as they always did more of his wonderful mind and grasp of thought, brightened, when ill-health did not depress him, by that elasticity of spirit and keen sense of humour which made him, to his more intimate friends, such a charming companion. His rare wit and humour were said to be family characteristics, inherited from his father, and in Dr. Saphir were never allowed to lead to the very slightest irreverence for sacred things. His many-sided intellect could quickly enter into everything in Religion, Literature, and Politics; he would seem only to glance into the morning papers and would at once give you a re'sume' of everything in them.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Adolph Saphir, a remarkable man whose life intertwined with the birth and growth of Jewish missions in Hungary. The author takes readers on a captivating journey through Saphir's formative years, tracing the influence of his family, his early intellectual brilliance, and his profound conversion to Christianity. We witness the powerful impact of the Church of Scotland's mission to the Jews in Pesth, Hungary, where Saphir's father, a respected Jewish leader, embraced Christianity alongside his son. The book explores the personal struggles and triumphs of the Saphir family as they faced persecution and societal disapproval for their faith. We gain insight into the dynamic and often challenging world of Jewish missions, with its unique challenges and the extraordinary individuals who dedicated their lives to spreading the gospel. The book ultimately reveals the deep faith and unwavering commitment of Adolph Saphir, a man who, through his own personal journey, played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of Jewish missions.
