High Priesthood and Sacrifice an Exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews (Classic Reprint)
(Hebrews 1-2 We have our religion through the medium of la...)
Hebrews 1-2 We have our religion through the medium of languages that have been long dead, and that present tendencies in education threaten to render more and more dead to us. A long with the languages, there is a growing disposition to relegate the ideas, the entire symbolic expression and form, of Christianity to the past. The modern world calls for modern modes of thought and modern forms of speech. We have to meet that demand and be able to answer and satisfy whatever of reason or truth there is in it. Revelation, if it was to come at all, had to come at a time, and in the ideas and language of the time. All that was possible in mitigation of that inevitable disadvantage was that it should come at the best time; and the best time would be the one whose ideas and language would be, not only the most universal possible in themselves, but also the most convertible into the thought and speech of all other times.
