The Divine Wisdom of the Word of God as seen in the Spiritual Sense of the Histories of Samuel, Saul, David, Solomon, and Daniel

EXCERPT

PREFACE

These discourses have been issued to illustrate the principle enunciated by the Apostle respecting the history of Abraham, "Which things are an allegory."

The Divine Word is an exhaustless fountain, and we have endeavoured to illustrate the method by which devout souls may draw with joy from the historic portions as well as the preceptive. Happy, indeed, shall we be, if we shall enable thoughtful readers of the Book of books to exclaim, when they perceive spiritual beauty in portions that were closed before, "When I found Thy words I did eat them, and they were the joy and rejoicing of my heart! - J. BAYLEY.
