The Connexion and Harmony of the Old and New Testament: Being an Inquiry Into the Relation, Literary and Doctrinal, in Which These Two Parts of the Sacred Volume Stand to Each Other (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Connexion and Harmony of the Old and New Testament: Being an Inquiry Into the Relation, Literary and Doctrinal, in Which These Two Parts of the Sacred Volume Stand to Each Other

"All Scripture," says Paul, speaking of the Old Testament, "is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." It is to be feared that many excellent persons, whilst they cannot but admit this statement of the Apostle, are far from enjoying a personal realization of its truth. From the more devotional parts of the Jewish Scriptures they may derive much spiritual advantage; but for the book, as a whole, they find themselves unable to entertain the same feeling of grateful regard as they possess towards the writings of the New Testament, from which they are in the habit of deriving principally their religious aliment. The existence of such a divided state of feeling towards the two great component portions of a volume which, if of Divine origin, must be harmonious in its texture, is a circumstance deeply to be regretted.
