| | Class number: | 199.492 | | Abstract: | Men would never be superstitious, if they could govern all their circumstances by set rules, or if they were always favoured by fortune: but being frequently driven into straits where rules are useless, and being often kept fluctuating pitiably between hope and fear by the uncertainty of fortune's greedily coveted favours, they are consequently, for the most part, very prone to credulity. The human mind is readily swayed this way or that in times of doubt, especially when hope and fear are struggling for the mastery, though usually it is boastful, over-confident, and vain. | | Contents note: | Of Prophecy; Prophets; Of the Vocation of the Hebrews, and Whether the Gift of Prophecy Was Peculiar To Them; Of the Divine Law; Of the Ceremonial Law; Miracles; Of the Interpretation of Scripture; Of the Authorship of the Pentateuch and the Other Historical Books of the Old Testament; Other Questions Concerning the Same Books; An Examination of the Remaining Books of the Old Testament According to the Preceding Method; An Inquiry Whether the Apostles Wrote Their Epistles As Apostles and Prophets, Or Merely As Teachers; Of The True Original of the Divine Law, and Wherefore Scripture Is Called Sacred, and the Word of God; It Is Shown That Scripture Teaches Only Very Simple Doctrines, Such As Suffice For Right Conduct; Definitions of Faith, the Faith, and the Foundations of Faith, Which Is Once For All Separated From Philosophy; Theology Is Shown Not To Be Subservient To Reason, Nor Reason To Theology: A Definition of the Reason Which Enables Us To Accept the Authority of the Bible; Of the Foundations of a State; of the Natural and Civil Rights of Individuals; and of the Rights of the Sovereign Power; It Is Shown That No One Can, Or Need, Transfer All His Rights To The Sovereign Power; From the Commonwealth of the Hebrews, and Their History, Certain Political Doctrines Are Deduced; It Is Shown That the Right Over Matters Spiritual Lies Wholly With the Sovereign; That In A Free State Every Man May Think What He Likes, and Say What He Thinks; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=19177 |
