Let Us Go On: The Secret of Christian Progress in the Epistle to the Hebrews - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This book contains the amplification of Lectures and Bible Readings which I have had the privilege of giving, first at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, 1905–10, then at the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, 1911, and subsequently at other Bible Institutes and at several Bible Conferences in America. I have no intention or desire to add to the many valuable commentaries available on this Epistle, but I have thought it might be profitable to concentrate on one of the main themes (if not the main theme) of Hebrews, the necessity and conditions of spiritual progress. As I try to show, even though its primary message was to the Christian Jews to whom it was originally addressed, its teaching, exhortations, and warnings are directly applicable to believers today for the purpose of inciting them to possess and enjoy the fullest and highest Christian life. With the view of obtaining all possible light on the development of this special topic, I have collected and utilized everything I could find on Hebrews, and the Bibliography will show the character and extent of my indebtedness. A brief outline of the book was given as Bible Readings at the Keswick Convention, 1922, and since then the chapters have appeared, substantially as they are now, in the pages of The Christian, to the Editor of which I am indebted for permission to reproduce them in this form. They are now sent out, revised, with the prayer that both writer and readers may “go on” unto that spiritual ripeness of experience which alone realizes the divine purpose in Christ and fulfils the divine work of grace.
