Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Theologian and Biblical scholar Charles Bridges explains the nature
of psalm 119, popularly renowned as one of the lengthiest and most
spiritually rich of the psalms. In this superb narrative, Bridges
undertakes an intensive narration of each verse. He discusses at
length the meanings and constructions behind each - on average, the
author devotes over 750 words of exposition and discussion to each
verse. The length of Bridges' work alone makes it noteworthy; that
the style of the author's writing sometimes ranges to a stream of
consciousness renders it both interesting and worthy of
examination. With his scholarship and gifts for evocation at the
ready, Charles Bridges delivers clarity and depth to the ancient
verses, allowing Christians to appreciate the value of the famous
psalm. He manages to be lively and entertaining, yet supremely
respectful of the spiritual advice and faceted meanings in each of
the verses, revealing what the Bible teaches about the character of
God and our earthly existence.

The classic of Christian ministerial thought by Charles Bridges is
presented to the reader anew in this superb edition, complete with
the author's annotations. The author considered that the ministry's
failings in certain core duties sufficient genesis for a book. Why
did this failure occur? Had modern priests and ministers lost their
way from the tradition and essence of Christian belief? Were
corruptions of the heart frequent and getting commoner? These
questions are answered with unflinching sincerity: humans,
including the ordained, have shortfalls which can only be assuaged
by opening one's heart completely to God. The later parts of the
text focus upon the essential duties of the churchman: preaching
with the aim of uniting congregation and community in an unstinting
belief in the Lord is not a simple matter. Rather we discover it to
be a diverse practice; the preacher must not only incorporate
aspects of the doctrinal and scriptural truths, but be sensitive to
the emotions of his churchgoers.
