Lectures on the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lectures on the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans, Vol. 1IT is possible to conceive the face of our world over spread with a thick and midnight darkness, and without so much as a particle of light to alleviate it, from any one quarter of the firmament around us. In this case, it were of no avail to the people who live in it, that all of them were in possession of sound and perfect eyes. The organ of sight may be entire, and yet nothing be seen from the total absence of external light among the objects on every side of us. Or in other words, to bring about the perception of that which is without, it is not enough that we have the power of vision among men; but, in addition to this, there must be a visibility in the trees, and the houses, and the mountains, and the living creatures, which are now in the ordinary discernment of men.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
